Has anyone tried using a Sony Minidisc (deck player/recorder) as a DAC?
I got a MDS-JE520 and I connected it to my Mac Pro via Optical, and it's analog outputs to my Hifiman EF2 headphone amp, and hit "Record" on the deck with no minidisc in it, which turns on "DA" mode, essentially turning it into a live DAC, and it seems to sound very interesting.
It's quite warm with tamed treble, but at the same time, very "Sony" like (aka, that mega bass stuff)..
Was an interesting thing I found out..
