Thread Name: Tech: Transferring data from minidiscs
Subject: RE: Tech: Transferring data from minidiscs
I've been trying to remember details of a HiFi Rack unit MD recorder I fancied way back.
It might have been Yamaha...???
If it had Spdif outputs - that'd be the reason I was so interested...
It was probably too expensive...???
There was also a short lived MD multitrack portastudio - again, possibly Yamaha.
Which cost too high a retail price just as Hard Drive portable multitracks were becoming more popular
and costing less.
I can't remember if either of these products could record and transfer lossless audio...???
I probably decided at the time that spdif wasn't worth the extra outlay,
as it still needed to transfer in real playing time, same as analog outputs.
And the perceivable difference in audio quality from lossy atrac would be negligable...???
