Title: Is this source info right...?
Post by: macroint on June 01, 2007, 04:39:49 PM

Came across this show on The Dime and, to satisfy my own curiousity, I was wondering if the source info was mis-labeled:

Soundboard > reel to reel wave > flac frontend

WAV is digital.  Reel to reel has been analog with some digital in the early digital years.  In Switzerland anything is possible.  Studer/ReVox has a tradition of making the flat best recording equipment, both advanced audiophile (real audiophile) and professional.  I could not find a digital reel-to-reel on their site.  But I would be surprised if they did not manufacture one.  They make really good stuff.  I have one of their products that is about 25 years old now and going strong.

Short answer: it is possible.  In Switzerland, more possible.

Sony, Mitsubishi, Studer, Otari. All made digital reel to reel.

guess that would be AD as well rather than DA.  My bad...

I think they're just missing a > in there...look at the other sources listed on the web page linked from the torrent...
