The Onkyo MD-105 is a compact MiniDisc deck introduced in January 1998, available primarily in the EU market. It is notable for its sturdy build, featuring a solid metal construction that enhances its longevity and performance. The MD-105 does not support MDLP or NetMD, but it serves as a reliable option for basic MiniDisc playback and recording. The deck comes equipped with RCA inputs as well as digital optical (TOSLINK) connections for both input and output, allowing for high-quality audio transfer. It has dimensions of 205 x 76 x 287 mm and weighs approximately 2.2 kg. The ATRAC version used in this model is ATRAC 1, and it operates using AC power. A series of revisions were later released, including the MD-105TX, which added MDLP support and upgraded the ATRAC version to Type-S. Overall, the Onkyo MD-105 is a solid choice for those interested in the MiniDisc format, providing essential features without advanced functions.
