About Sound & Disc Quality
----------------------------

* Its not the ATRAC which really makes the recording sound good. Its the DAC (Digital Analog Converter). This ofcourse applies to newer ATRAC (Sony Atrac v4.0 and above)

* Statistically a man cannot audibly distinguish between Atrac4.0 and CD using HighEnd equipment (Expensive decks, oxygen free copper wiring, $2000 speakersystem etc) [skamd: This is true in most cases, the operative word being most.]

* Soundquality between brands do not exist since this is a digital media

* Buildquality between brands do exist though. Some brands have a higher TOC ERROR rate
And some have some physical problems. Stay away from too cheap brands hehe. Mostly spoken about is Maxell Gold and Hi-Space. Alot of people have had no problems at all and have hundreds of discs while other only have troubles with them. Anyway, it seems Hi-Space is spitting out more broken MDs than any other brands. But those who passes has the same buildquality as the more expensive ones.
