Coolvij, What's the difference?! If the R900 didn't have all of those features, I'd have gone for the R700. I got the 900 especialy for those features.
Tides, your right. There are an overwhelming amount of features! I spent last night (and a good part of this morning) trying to figure out how all those features work.
Jude, I got the unit at a local tweeter store, as I don't have a credit card and I like to pay with cash. It cost me $350, but I'm sure that a lot of the cost markup compared to the Japanesse model is from the Digital PC link I didn't want, and probably will never use. As for the fidelity, it's not bad. Almost as good as the CD origional. MDLP 2 is ok, but there is a (IMO) big difference when switching to SP mode. The bass is less distorted mostly. A lot of my CDs copy great, but some have a distorted bass, especially on really low notes which becomes very annoying. I was wondering if anyone knew if digital recordings would help to fix this, as I have no digital line out to record from and have been using analog only so far.
Reynman, That's the one I have!
Mbriant, I'm working on it!
