MusicBringer Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 My minidiscs are feeling a bit tired and worn and I thought I might try an alternative new music player. Have you experience of players such as: Sony NW-A25HN High Resolution Audio Walkman with Noise Cancelling https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013YIX9K2/ref=psdc_573372_t3_B013YIX9DY Or FiiO X3 (2nd Gen) Lossless Portable Digital Audio Player & DAC https://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-X3-Lossless-Portable-Titanium/dp/B00VR5JHVK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1466363062&sr=8-5&keywords=Sony+NWZ-A15 OR Sony NW-A27HNB High Resolution 64 GB Audio Walkman with Noise Cancelling https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-NW-A27HNB-Resolution-Walkman-Cancelling/dp/B013YIX9DY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466363062&sr=8-1&keywords=Sony+NWZ-A15 thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 If you want to play your precious ATRAC files (assuming you have them) then you might want to look at NW-F887 instead (or 885/886). Note that NW-F887 is not the same as NWZ-F887. The latter lacks support for ATRAC. The former is only available as a Japanese import.

MusicBringer Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hello sfbp, it's not the actual ATRAC files themselves I am more interested in trying a modern player. These days you can plug music players into the PC and transfer hundreds of flacs across. My dedicated LiP-4WM battery for Sony MZ-NH1 is dead and I cannot find a replacement.

PhilippeC Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Your battery is dead but I suppose (I have the RH1 not the NH1) that you can still use a (small) USB charger for mobile phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicBringer Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 It seems the MZ-NH1 is lacking any input other than the wretched cradle and dedicated charger. I have looked time and time again and failed to find any other power input hole. I have only a DC IN 6V in the back of the cradle. which I have to use with one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 There's another topic here about brand new batteries that can be adapted to replace the guts of a LIP-4WM. They cost about $5. I did it and installed one in my NH1.... and it worked. However you ARE stuck with the charger for the NH1. The cable for this is the same as that for the NW-HD3 and you might be able to get one of those and share the cable (you or someone else already asked about the cable, IIRC). The reason I used the word "precious" was that when they are so beautifully encoded (I have hundreds of hours of LP4 recorded which I play through bluetooth into my car setup) that re-encoding them is rarely a good option. And the F887 has bluetooth (it's a vanilla Android device except for the sound support). And it will play all the new HD formats as well as "uncompressed" CD format and all that.
