Although Sony dropped the ball with an user unfriendly interface. However the sounds quality of the minidisc format was not bad to say the least. In matter of fact I believe that it is still on par with main of today's Ipods / mp3 players (or better).
My ipod touch is gathering dust ever since I re discovered the my minidisc player. Granted the interface and limited storage are a pain, but in the end I can stuff 10 albums on one Hi-MD disc. Which is enough for me.
SQ wise I would advise all head-fi's to give it a try. Well worth the $$$
Cheers

Jup, still going strong in 2012 and for size and quality I have difficulty replacing it.
The build quality and size are still second to none. Specially if you compare with Hi End DAP's like Colorfly C4 and Hifiman 6xx / 8xx.
