In Reply to: Teresa-try to get yourself a TASCAM DVRA1000 posted by r17 on March 8, 2007 at 21:10:56:
As far as I know, the Tascam won't even play SACDs, let alone duplicate them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Follow Ups:
The Tascam will record in DSD onto DVD media, but only in a proprietary format. It will not produce or play back SACD... and the discs it records are NOT playable on SACD players. Still a cool machine, though not ideal for archival... if the machine breaks, your only option is to buy another one. Otherwise you're stuck with an "archive" that is unplayable!
The files created by the Tascam DV RA1000 are industry standard DSDIFF files that any current DSD workstation can handle. The format on the disk is UDF, which Mac, Windows and Linux computers can read.I'm still trying to figure out how to (on my workstation) make a dvd disc that will playback DSD files on the Tascam. Some claim to have done it, but are short on details when questioned...:->
Best,
Why are they short on details?Does TASCAM employ hit-men to silence those who enjoy their machines too much?
Thanks for pointing these things out.
My intention was-For Teresa.to be able to use this machine in order to archive vinyl and tape-the DSD copies are then virtually indistinguishable from the originals.This is a marvelous recording machine,a bit quirky,but with marvelous sound.
No,it can not play SACDs,unfortunately.But,its superior sonics as a recording machine are not to be taken lightly.Raanan
