Mz-NH1 as an option

[Oset]

Hello,

I have decided to start this topic, because although I'm searching for info on this forum for guite a while, and I have found some thoughts and traces, it's hard for me to compile all the details, and find what I need to make a decision. That's why I hope, that people with personal experience of using NH1 and eventually RH1 will maybe help me with my problem.

Well, after some while without using it, I would like to return to minidisc. That's why I want to buy some of the latest HI-Md models. I have excluded RH1 although it's really great, because, as I have written somewhere else on this forum, I do not like to use remotes, and it seems that it's necessary while using this model.

That's why I have turned to NH1, because, well, it's the only other minidisc unit, that matches the beauty of RH1 and has some abilities also, and I have questions according to it.

1. Could anybody tell me shortly, if there's any really important option, or function, that RH1 does have and NH1 doesn't? I use Md mainly for playback, I record gigs and interviews rather seldom. I don't have any old format discs(gave them to my friend some time ago), I would like to transfer music from my Pc.
2. If there's any option, in NH1 that can be used only via remote(like track names and equailizer in RH1)?
3. As I don't see any deep analysis of this model anywhere in here, could You please pass mi some links to such articles if You have any?

I just want to know if my idea of buying NH1 instead of RH1 doesn't have any big disadvantages that I don't know about. The other option is to wait for the next Sony release with the hope, that it's drawbacks will be more acceptable for me. Or ma7ybe I should consider Mz-RH10?

Hope that anybody will say something, and that I didn't do anything wrong starting this topic...

Welcome to the forum. How important is mp3 playback to you? The rh1 does have fully functional mp3 playback, while the rh10's mp3 playback sound qualiy is less good (high frequency roll-off). The nh1 doesn't feature mp3 playback at all, mp3s need to be transcoded to atrac which will lead to some quality loss. The nh1's internal display is probably even less detailed than the rh1's (one line lcd, cannot be read in the dark). The rh10's display is the most detailed. Other random characteristics are the expensive proprietary batteries of rh1 and nh1 and the proprietary usb connector of the nh1.
