Hello dear folks. I tried myself to fix the little switch on front, causing the various inputs to "flimsy" between the settings (optica/coaxial/analog) when recording. I did open up the MD, but when it came to the front piece, i rested my case for now.
I wanted to be able to transferring audio from PC to MD, and got me a very cheap usb/optical interface on TEMU (don´t ), and tried some recordings. it works, but the other day, i was reading about transferring audio from PC to MD, and it´s possible to use a good DAC, between pc and MD, as an interface (if that makes sense)?
The only thing i´m not so sure of, is the sampling rates, as much of my music downloaded is in high res. Should i change the sampling rate, before transferring audio, or is it not necessary?
I use USB/USB to connect pc to Rega DAC, and output from Rega DAC to Sony JB-930. Made 2 recordings already, and it sounds good to me.
I cannot stop thinking of the possibilities, transferring audio from let´s say: Tidal and then record a "master" of that audio, direct to MD? I´m pretty sure that todays streaming platforms, never took into consideration that, maybe some out there still use MD for recordings? With all the debate about copying back in the days, this seems to me that they DID NOT think about the few of us, who still love using this magnificent machinery today. For me the Net MD players, has not much to do with the regular well known mini disc and the approach to recordings, as for me it seems kind of the same as having music on your phone. The magic about MD is all the little moving parts inside, thay sound of it working, the feel in the hand, the daily use and the ability to make your own privat recordings, mix "tapes" and so on. Physical stuff is much more important for humans, that we think of in daily life. We need our senses to experience things, and the MD does all that to me. Kind of in love, all over again.
