Richard Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Unfortunately, I very much doubt it now, but you could still import one of the Onkyo decks from Japan - and welcome to the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yeah Onkyo seems to be the ONLY one doing HiMD at the moment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loque Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well I don't think that it is worth kidding yourself that anyone is going to create a new piece of MD equipment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modernaire Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 It would of been nice if Sony as a last MiniDisc tribute would of released a high end ES/QS HiMD super duper deck with digital I/O and keyboard input. Just as a swan song. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylvian Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hello folks, I've got last two SONY portables and the ONKYO MD133 for Hi-MD compatibility and Iam very satisfied with performance aand durability, highly recommended.

sfbp Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 (repeats himself over and over) You CAN have HiMD in your car... on an Atrac CD. There are lots of brand new Sony units that play Atrac3+ (and Atrac3, also) at Dakmart on Ebay, and lots of second hand ones in your local craigslist or whatever means people use in your locality to buy/swap electronic and other junk Try searching Ebay for CDX-GT510 and then go to the seller's store.

sfbp Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 But the quality of HiMD at 256K is quite unsurpassed, especially when combined with a CD that now holds the equivalent of about 5 to 6 "normal" CD's. You're never going to hear the difference between 256K and 1411 in a car anyway, who ultimately cares about lossless in this instance, since all you want to do is listen in the car, not archive your data(music). Sure it would be nice to have a DVD in-car that played MP3's up to 4.7GB capacity, too. But notwithstanding your earlier comments about skipping (the G-protection on the Sony units is perfect BTW) the quality I am getting via Atrac3+CD is jolly good. And I don't think I am confusing anyone, unless they equate HiMD with lossless PCM. Since that is what you get on a conventional CD anyway. Sorry, this comment arose because I am increasingly seeing the car units referred to as "decks". My fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bad experience with non-Sony head unit controlling Sony devices, but that was the non-Sony device's limitation, I suspect. I'm not that excited about portables in the car because it's (for me) one more thing to lose (ie be stolen), drop, bend, mash, or dirty.
