How does it compare to "we are rewind" ?

I remember having sony wm gx 688 Walkman of almost cassette case size having everything like dolby b ( both for recording and playback) full electronic soft touch cassette mechanism, digital tuner running on single 1.5v supplied chocolate type battery which fitted in the small space plus it had...

One thing is sure without Dolby nr and recording, this product will only sell if it is priced very reasonably and that too when playback competes in specs with dedicated decks. If it sounds noisy and compressed then there is no point. I think fiio should seriously consider a decent deck with...

Nr in software how is that possible with cassette? Will they convert analog of cassette to digital, do nr in digital doamin and again convert to analog? 😳

Recording and playback with dolby b c s should be there. Pre recorded cassettes are not very well recorded. So making an analog metal tape dolby s master is my dream.

Can you please share the link of working snr deck available for €200-300 ?

Problem is that people demand exorbitant ptice of such decks. Not available easily.

Most deck sound not so good because of quality of prerecorded cassettes. So a high quality recording facility with dolby snr is must for able to make analog master tape.

So you want analog to digital conversion with tape? 😳 almost all original analog recordings are already available in digital format. You can do that everything with those. With cassette playback conversion in digital will ne retrograde step. A good clean cassette playback should give a flat...

(1) dolby b, c, s nr for both recording and playback (2) high output line out with high s/n ratio like in modern dacs (3) line in for recording with level control (4) better electronic circuit design with less but high end parts to ensure low level details. (5) lower output impedance. (6) no eq...

Shorter cleaner signal path with better electronic design for low level details. No need of bass boost or eq to avoid extra electronics. Without recording through line in and level control there may not be much interest if it is playaback only. Make it a master tape recorder on metal tapes with...

Dolby b and s nr is must for recording and playback. S nr improves the sound greatly. Direct drive motor, no belts. High quality heads for low noise and extended fr. Higher and cleaner output unlike earlier decks. Line out for ripping cassettes and for using as source to amp. Robust transport...

I know dsd transmission as dop and without dop ( called native support) is also used by many. But my chord dac concerts dsd into pcm.

My dac does not deal dsd natively.

So what will be better a longer filter like sinc LL and pcm to pcm upsampling or a lighter filter with modulator to convert pcm to dsd?
