Wasn't it on minidisc.org newspage about how someone found a way to use the
DG1 with sharp units?
I am looking at getting one of those...I already have the AN1 and quite
happy with it....the main reason I bought AN1 was because I can use it as a
second soundcard...so I can setup winamp to use the AN1 and the system for
the regular soundcard that way I wont hear those ICQ "Uh-ohs" on the MD
recordings....
That was one of the big plus and the other was because well it's external so
all the noise generated from the PC dont affect it much...
I really wanted to get the DG1 at first but since they wouldnt work with
Sharps (in my case the 722)...but now they are able to work with some trick
I am thinking of getting one...though I have not heard from anyone who said
it works....but I want to try it out myself anyways....
Anyone know where to get one for cheap? I want the Sony version (I guess the
OEM one) since its cheaper because musicmatch isnt included...which I dont
need anyway...
