lefty Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) I've got the software and pc input covered. Just need a worth player for the transfer. I see the only suitable portable units are the RH1 and M200. What are some MD decks with optical out that would suffice? I want to get them to my PC without converting them or negatively effecting the sound quality.New or used - I don't care. Whatever I do purchase will be sold when I'm done. I have no interest in keeping the MDs after I archive these shows to DVD. My old Sony MZ-N1 was used to record about 50 live concerts (60-120 minutes each), but I'll be selling it and all the MDs after I'm done converting.

Skradgee Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 My advice is to save yourself some time and get an MZ-RH1. If you get a deck with optical out, you'll still have to record to PC or whatever in real time, and frequently the difference in sound quality you'd hear between line out vs. optical out will not be noticeable. It’d probably be more expensive than what you’re looking to do, but I like having the RH1 to do fully digital transfers of old MD recordings.

A440 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I agree with Skradgee. 50-100 hours of your time--recording in realtime vs. uploading--is worth the price of the MZ-RH1. (You'll also keep your edits if you upload.) You obviously don't need the M200, which is just the RH1 plus a mic, if you can find the RH1. After you're done, you should be able to sell the RH1 for something close to what you paid for it. People still covet them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
