Brett, you can't rely on anything in between the mp3 and the mini disc. Even
the best sound card with a digital output might still create some distortion.
Right now the best way I see to make good copies of Mds from mp3 files is to
convert them to wave files and transfer them to CD then to MD. Or to have a
player like the Apex DVD player that will read mp3 files and has a digital
output (unfortunately not optical on that model-that's why I ordered a coaxial
to digital converter from Nate White, hint, hint-Nate, I still didn't receive it
yet).
If you are willing to spend $180.00 I really think that they DVD/ mp3 (or they
also have portable CD/mp3 player but I don't know if the models they have out
yet have a digital output) is the best way to transfer mp3s to MD.
