| I recently bought a Sharp MD-MS702 MK.
Sharp has a generally bad reputation here, especially the 701/702 series.
Given my limited experience it is not a well-deserved rep. Take any flack
with a grain of salt.
There are two general ways of making the initial recording of the analog
source: analog and digital. The difference here should be obvious: an
analog (conventional) recorder will record an analog signal, a digital
recorder (like your DAT deck) will record a digital signal. We can ignore
the analog "original" recording since you are not doing that.
>From the digital original, you can have either analog out or digital out.
With analog out, the player converts the digital signal back to an analog
signal. You are not doing this, either, so we can ignore it as well. With
digital output over fiber optic or coaxial cable, the player does not
convert the signal to an analog signal. What the player -- be it DAT,
digital multi-track, or audio CD -- reads off the source recording is
identical to what the MD recorder records, less what the ATRAC algorithm
removes.
