Re: OT: Minidisc vs. DAT for portable

[Cummings <r_t_cummings@compuserve.com>]

This is not going to help you all too much but i can tell about my sony
MD (mz-r30): the mic preamp only has two gain settings (high/ low).
This is good enough for basic recordings but probably a little to coarse
not for sensitive recordings.
There also seems to be a lot of compression in the pre-amp, it's
difficult to actually produce digital clipping.

Sorry, i have no experience with dat equipment ...
