I'll agree regarding home decks. Most have analog and digital (optical) ins along with analog and digital (optical) outs. However, don't get too excited about a digital copy from a CD to an MD. There's all sorts of conversions done in addition to the MD compression to kill that idea. Still I get great sound from both analog & digital ins on my Sonly MDS-JE510. Regarding portables, my Sonly MZ-R700 (a very common model on the street these days) has a line in that'll accept both an analog signal and an optical one...very cool. Also, there's a stereo mic input that is certainly analog and probably does not accept an optical signal (I'd have to dig out the manual.) Most portables I've seen, however, do not have any sort of digital output. No big deal if you've also got a deck at home, but something to consider.
