According to the Revue du Son (December 1999), some components found in high
end MD decks are similar (or identical) to the ones used in high end CD
players (much more expensive than MD decks), and even in SACD players: 24
bit digital filters, noise shapers, 24 bit DACs, etc.
But this does not answer the question about the ATRAC DSP type R from Sony.
What does it do exactly? I guess it is similar to the Rec and Play DRIVE
system by Kenwood or to similar systems by Sharp, e.g., unless you prove me
wrong! Any engineer knowing about these issues in the list?
