Hadakajime Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi I'm relatively a newcomer to the MD scene. I have had an NH600 and RM-MC40ELK for a few years, but I rarely used it. I haven't really listened to music on a portable device since about 2009. Back then I used an Archos 604wifi, which was pretty good for functionality, but it was bulky and heavy and had long loading times. Eventually my use just petered out and that was it for me. My headphones back then were Etymotic er6i, which eventually died about 2 years ago so I upgraded to Shure SE535 bronze (I'm a big fan of IEM noise isolation). Now recently I have rediscovered my love for music and I have determined that I should couple a high quality source and a high quality player to go with my high quality headphones. Otherwise, something's going to waste. So I have recently bought an MZ-RH1 and a bunch more of HI-MD blanks so I can transfer music at HI-SP. Finally I was able to register today and downloaded the SS4.3UE R2. So I guess I'm all set.. Just need to get the music I want.

Hadakajime Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 One really annoying thing about the 604wifi was that it had a constant hiss in the background from the shared headphones/multi-out port. Thankfully, my RH1 sounds better than perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Good to see people coming to (or back to) the MD scene. There's life in the old format yet! Still using mine on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecrab Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 MD Decks: Sony MDS-JE640, MXD-D50; Onkyo FR-N7X, FR-B7, MD-105FX OK, I give up. What in the world is an MXD-D50? Is that the one with "Type O"? ;-) or did I miss something somewhere? BTW, not only using my MD decks regularly, they are my main playback source!

freddyjollo Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm on a long train ride and I have my RH1 in my bag, but I don't have any music for it yet >_< Soon... I wouldnt publicise you have a RH1 as u may get mugged for it. They are in some quarters more desirable than ipods & some try and sell them on Ebay for £1000 .....

bluecrab Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Mugged for it? Not here in the US, where few would even know what it was. Apparently, UK muggers are true audiophiles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadakajime Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hey, I've seen people talking about a workaround related to file conversion quality that involves converting MP3s to WAV then transferring files, or something similar to that. I tried searching for "mp3 wav workaround" but nothing very definitive came up. Can anyone explain what exactly the problem was, and if I should still be concerned about it with an RH1 + SS 4.3 UE? I did find this thread, is it related? For reference, I only use SS as an interface for transferring to my RH1. I don't transfer from the RH1. I use JRiver for ripping CDs to MP3 320kbps CBR, which is then kept in my library and used for transferring to HIMD (SP). I don't maintain any library inside SS. I just import the MP3s, convert/transfer, clear the SS library, then lock the disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
