This is strange -- does the MD recorded on the x5 ALSO sound bad ON the
x5?
I ask because ATRAC is backwards-compatible. A recording made on the x5
should sound exactly the same on the x5 as it does on the 702 (well, it
will sound a bit different because of different amps, etc., but you know
what I mean ;)).
Sounds like one of the units is broken -- maybe the heads are misaligned
in one of them.
