Does anyone know if there's a portable MD player that has a digital
output? Seems important if you want to upload your field recordings to
your computer without losing sound quality in multiple D to A and A to D
conversions. On top of that, I would think that with the crappy little
unbalanced analog output that most MD players have your analog signal
would be compromised before even getting to your soundcard.
