Mysterious Lineage
The brand Saba, which may seem unfamiliar to Asian people at first glance (often mistaken for the automotive brand Saab), is actually a German manufacturer of wireless radio equipment that has been acquired by Chinese investors, according to Wikipedia.
With a nearly identical design and shared components as the RAC RP-6001A, it's not hard to deduce that it is based on the Sanyo MDG-P1. Setting itself apart from the conventional Japanese design, it showcases a unique European and American aesthetic with its unbalanced layout and generous white space. The front-mounted LCD screen on the device gives it a professional hardware control feel.
It comes with a detachable 3.5mm standard line control with basic functions, making it compatible with headphones from all brands.
Utilizing the same Ni-Cd 900mAh rechargeable battery as the MDG-P1, it can also be powered using an external battery pack (AA x3), and it features a two-stage Bass-Treble Boost for audio enhancement.
We appreciate any official MD information including specifications.
