Tascam DS-D98 
DSD Multitrack Recorder
|
|
The DS-D98 is a DTRS recorder which supports Sony's Direct Stream Digital format for production of the Super Audio CD (SACD). Based on the popular DA-98HR high-resolution DTRS recorder the DS-D98 is the only tape-based machine capable of DSD recording and can be configured in both DSD two-track and PCM multitrack formats. The DS-D98 is easy to integrate into any DTRS environment: It is fully compatible with existing DTRS recordings and may be branched together with other DTRS recorders (up to 256 in total).
Main features
|
 Selectable modes: DSD 2-track or PCM multitrack (up to 8 tracks)
The only tape-based machine capable of high-resolution DSD recording
Sony SDIF-3 digital I/O
Direct conversion between DSD and analogue signals and vice versa
newly-developed VCXO PLL reduces jitter rate and improves sonic performance
OS-CON condensor improves sonic performance by decoupling the power supply circuitry from the audio circuitry
