for md i mainly use atrac-r encoded music, from a sony jb930 md deck, and play back on a sony r70 md unit. the sony d66 eggos sound fantastic right from the headphone out: no noise, no obvious compression artifacting.
for portable with an amp, i just use a sony d777 pcdp or r50 md unit, cha47 amp, and sony v6 or ety er6. this is slightly less portable than the above md setup. this cd rig has sonically more air and smoother transition between bass/mids/treble. detail is also resolved better. the md rig has a sweeter, more comparmentalized sound, but with amazing clarity and a warmth that is addicting. md brings poor and good cd's into a similar level of sound quality.
personally i use the r50-d66 combo the most these days. in portable situations for me it is the point of diminishing marginal sonic returns.
when they make a hd or ram player as small and light as the r50, i'll consider it. until then i am very happy with md.
