I agree. Anyone that thinks lossless/uncompressed formats sound different cannot be a sane person.

Its all lossless. If they want to encode it how they want, you can let them if it really doesn't matter, right?

Right now, I want to see more beautiful pictures of dream portable setups.

Can you start a thread in the Computer Audio forum?

My Cowon D2, X5, and Trekstor Vibez do FLAC@L8 just fine... sure you can't expect that from an iPod, just saying...

This doesn't have anything to do with pictures of portable rigs...

So why don't you post some?

I recently dug up my MD player from the palaeolithic era, and it sounds damn good - compared to many DAPs available today. Not that I'm gonna use it much, but it's a nice reference point for my other gear.

I gotta find my old minidisc player. i had one when i was like 13, my dad brought it back from japan. They were awesome and sq was excellent. optical out from the cd player to the md was the best.

Wow you have one of the original MD recorders... nice. Too bad barely anyone uses MD anymore, including recently myself.
Edit:
@dfkt from your multiple portable sources, which one do you like best sound wise?

 

[NeObliviscaris]

yeah, lets get back to pictures

Is MD analog?

I was going to get one YEARS ago, but was convinced that they were a novelty, a waste of money.

No, its an optical media containing ATRAC files, the format invented by Sony to compete with mp3 for quality at low bitrates. Its digital.

MD was brought to market in 1992 to compete against cassette, DCC, and CD. It is digital media. ATRAC is a compressed audio format.

 

[nismo96]

Is that a MZ-N910?

 

[pkshiu]

MD is great. It's a mature format (at least in Asia). So many devices to chose from, and they are all engineering marvel. I used to carry a case of MD's, an extra gum pack charged battery, a AA extra emergency battery, a tiny player, and travel US to Tokyo for two weeks without having to worry about anything.

It's a very sociable format, if your friend like your music, just give him/her your disc and cut a new one when you get home.
