RE: MD: ATRAC-R
Fidelity does mean faithfulness, but so many people have so many different perceptions of what is truly a faithful reproduction and what isn't. So what is lo-fi to one is HiFi to another.

Whatever appears to be of greatest fidelity to the individual. THAT is HiFi. There is no ultimate answer. Tony, this is one time that I have to disagree with you. It is only semantics but your statement is incorrect. Don't confuse the terms fidelity and better. Fidelity is an objective term. It means faithfulness. Which means that the what you hear is as close to the original as possible. It is true or "faithful" to it. Better is a subjective term. It can be what ever the individual wants it to be.

I am planning on getting the Sony 940. Has anyone used the Sony PCLK-MD1 link kit. http://www.planetminidisc.com/planetminidisc/sonypclkmd1.html It seems as if the AudioLib - http://www.czechin.com/minidisc/ is a better deal.

Re: MD: ATRAC-R (HiFi)
"Fidelity" is an objective term. It means faithfulness. Which means that the what you hear is as close to the original as possible. It is true or "faithful" to it. Me being on the digest, this may've already been addressed, but just to continue in the hair-splitting vein: Some people striving for hi-fi are attempting to reproduce exactly what the recording engineer hears on his monitors in the studio. Some people are attempting to reproduce the live event. Which is subtley different, and begs the flippant question - which seat? - because the listening environment overwhelms all else. Some people are trying to create the sound that pleases them most in their environment, a moderate and perhaps sensible approach given that none of us live in anechoic chambers. But it gets very muddy in a world of electronic or processed music. What is the original sound? There is no original acoustic environment for some of this stuff, borne solely of electronics. You can choose the flattest full range speakers possible, but you're still hearing mainly your room. All good fun until someone loses an eye. Time to whip out the Sennheiser phones?
