the 702 doesn't have a digital out,
.....so best option is to get a non-portable minidisc player with digital 
out
(their cheaper than the portables) as (as far as I know) you can't get a 
portable with digital out.

while you will be copying digitally, the copy still won't be exact in the 
same way that
a DAT or CD-R would be, because your signal is going to be decompressed 
and 
then Re-compressed, so you should keep track of which disc is the original 
and make all copies from that.

but when I recorded grasshoppers at the foot of a cliff
they somehow got lost, although I could hear them through headphones while 
recording
there was  alot of other noise about (from the sea) so I guess the ATRAC 
couldn't
handle it.
