From a techno-gadget viewpoint, I find MD much more appealing than DCC.
Also, more importantly, MD is a more physically robust medium. However, in
my limited exposure to actually hearing the two formats, DCC sounded
better. The conditions were far from equal, however -- different music,
different headphones, and no immediate comparison to CD was possible. Since
my subjective impressions were exactly in line with my expectations based
on foreknowledge of the two formats (DCC compresses less severely than MD),
I consider these impressions suspect, and will reserve judgement until such
time as I can arrange better testing.
