“Q017-MD1” Incorrectly listed as a netMD capable device on the minidisc.org site, the Qualia 017 is actually a playback only device. Machined from a solid block of brass, it has a very distinctive design.
A few things to note if you are trying to find one today.
- It can only be charged using the supplied dock.
- The headphone connector is unique. You must use the supplied remote or 3.5mm adapter. (Same as the MZ-E10? Wiki page supporting claim)
- It has a battery shut-off switch inside of the disc bay.
- Internal rechargeable battery is removable/replaceable with just a driver. No full teardown is required.
