Phase Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 So here is the scoop... I have been a MD fan since my Sharp '97 MD-X3....This thing still runs like a champ. Then I went portable with my Sharp MD-MS702...i have been to hell and back with this thing. Recently (less then 5 days) i got my Sony MZ-N10, and again I am rocking MD like nothing else....BUT then there is this iHP-100. I had seen the iHP-100 before this talk on the english iriver page, but it didnt grab me because its was not in the US. However now that we are days from it making its mark in the US I am left wondering if I have made a mistake. I use my Md for all it has to offer. I take along mixes of song i like. I use it to record auditions of musicans. I tape live shows. I use it as a sampler. It helps my write my songs. Its so small. My musican friends have them and its not a problem sharing my music. MD is a all around good tool for me but would the iHP-100 be a better choice? Can you guys help me out on this one? What are the pros and cons? I would love to stay true to MD but.... thanks, Phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 MD is well-built for recording, except for the fact that it uses a pretty shitty lossy codec to store all audio. You won't get any better recording with an iHP. Sure, it offers better quality since it's MP3, but the recording options are very limited. I hope you got an extended warranty for that N10... There are cheaper units out there. Just because you could almost buy an entire computer for the price of the N10 doesn't mean that it won't break down after a year and a half like any other MD unit.
