Question ATRAC Type-S? ATRAC Type-R? The difference is...?

Not much!
In fact, the only difference is that Type-S enables, "improved playback" of MDLP encoded discs. It does NOTHING on the encoding side of things, it is merely for playback only and works with ALL MDLP discs.

Type-S incorporates Type-R for SP (Standard) encoding, so real-time recordings of Type-S and Type-R units will sound the same in SP and indeed MDLP modes. Why? Because units equipped with Type-R and Type-S still use ATRAC3 to encode MDLP tracks.

Put very simply, Type-S does not offer any improvements over Type-R, except for enhanced MDLP track PLAYBACK.
