I had one of these and no, the volume can't be hacked. Mine was skipping for no reason so I eventually returned it anyway. Don't buy Sony CD players in Europe, all the volumes will be low, it's not worth the trouble. Find a way of getting one from Japan or the US.

That is why I don't get (as I had one before and traded it in for a non-EU version) an EU D-NE700, despite the EU-exclusive optical output option, as the volume is a measly 1.5 + 1.5mw as opposed to 5 + 5mw for my Australian (and other non-EU) model unit.

It's too bad that Sony does not offer a "hack" for the CD or MD (or Hi-MD) Walkman units the same way as they offer (this great board has opened our eyes to them) hacks for NW-series Walkman units. I wish they (Sony) would, but I doubt it.

HiMD Walkmans can be hacked, as can HDD DAPs. CD players & flash DAPS can't. Only Sony know the reason for this. The hackability of MD is one of the things that kept me with it. Music is useless if you can't hear it.

That's cool, so even if I get a "Euro-capped" MZ-NH700 (even though MiniDisc Access has the Australian version available in very limited quantities in which I would prefer to get), I can get a hack for it???

Please publish this on wither this forum or on your sister minidisc board, and send out the link so others (especially our European users) who have this same issue can do it too.

P.S.: Can the hack allow for more than 5 mW per channel (the North American/non-Euro versions have that limit), as that would be cool, as well as eliminate the need for an external inline headphone amp, and will allow me to use either higher-impedence (more than 16 ohms) or passive headphones as well as use a lesser level of volume and still hear it as loud as you would with the (old) 5 mW (or 1.5 mW for our European users) non-Euro limit, but, with less strain on both the battery and amp.
