freddyjollo Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 can any one remember the full name of the 2 sony ( atrac) hard disc playback decks? I think they started with HD or some thing and would like to track one down some time or other on a totally unrelated matter I came across this site that may interest some here https://sites.google.com/site/crazyforminidisc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Just add a PC in your audio system, you will get the same functionnalities and more, specially if you add a very good external DAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I have done, using iTunes. Easier to backup. And you don't have to hack the hard drive—upgrading is straightforward. Further, even 1TB would put me in "worried about space" mode. Still, the NAC-HD1 is an attractive and standalone device....not that I am getting one, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have almost 13 Tb and I am already in a "worried about space" mode : this is because I downloaded more than 5000 Hi-Res audio albums (Flac 24bit/96k&192kHz, DSD, SACD, DVDA, TR24*) from rutracker.org (from now, only classical and jazz...). Could be more simple if I have downloaded only Flac 16bit/44.1kHz files or MP3s but with an average size of 1 Gb - 1.5 Gb per Hi-Res album. I use jRiver Media Center (licenced) which support in frequencies Hi-Res files. In Vietnam, there is no problem with ©. Countraya !

I have the majority of stuff in ALAC, so I'm saving much space, albeit not as much as with MD. Oddly, I think my JA20ES sounds better than the ALAC files, many of which came from CD. Doesn't really make sense (I am using a decent DAC with the ALAC), but so say my ears. I expect that 2 TB will be enough for me, so I put a 2TB SSD in my MBP Are your 13 TB external?

PhilippeC Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Correction : I delete the major part of my non Hi-Res collection, so now I have around 7000 HI-Res albums in 9,7 Tb (only Classical, Jazz & Funk). 13 Tb is my ultimate objective (music), as I have in Mind to download also the Rock music Hi-Res section. SSD 110Gb internal, 4 x 3 Tb external, 1 x 4 Tb external. Then I will select 600-700 albums and begin a long process of recording them on MDs ! I just complete my MD blanks collection with an order of 500 of them to sescoscuba (Sergio from "crazy for minidisc" web site). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the details, PhillipeC...a delight to a quasi-geek such as I. Best of luck with the project! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
