Yes, but there is no separate line out on Sharp portable MD units! So the
output will always be colored by the EQ. The R50 has a true line out.

But is there really any method of copying anything that is truly 100% lossless?
It may be possible to copy a file bit for bit. But when you are dealing with
audio it is more complex. Error correction exists in all of the digital formats
that I am aware of.
Someone decided that below a certain number of errors, it's OK. What does that
mean?? It's inaudible?? To whom? Everyone? Or just most people?
Professional recording studios do not use so called "audio quality" DATs. The
only use the more costly Data DATs because they are they only one's certified to
be error free. Record companies don't record CDs, they stamp them.
Besides being much faster and less expensive, by stamping from a master you will
get a copy that as close as possible to the original. Relying on recording
always leaves room for error.
