I imagine if you use the digital output jacks, it will send uncompressed
digital audio as decoded from the Atrak on the disk. I'm not sure if the
Minidisc players convert the sample rate to 44.1 khz when outputting
digitally, or if the device at the other end has to support the 32 khz on
the disk.

Don, the system is called atrac, which stands for Audio Transform
acoustics or something like that. it is near CD quality, 128 KBPS with a
sampling rate of 32 kilobytes.

Subject: Digital audio question
Though the system is obsolete, I still enjoy using my mini disc players.
Until now, I have always made analog copies of material I wanted on mini
disc. But I would like to know specifically which digital audio format
is used when making a digital copy on to mini disc. I am aware of the
limitations caused by the mini disc's digital serial copy management
system.
Thanks for feedback.
