It's up:
http://www.tascam.com/Products/dvra1000_dwb1k.htmlhttp://www.tascam.com/Products/dw_download.phpMy new Dell Core Duo laptop takes about 20 hours (!) to decimate to 24/96 PCM & burn a DVD-A. Much faster if you are going to 48kHz fs, though. Sounds great. Even the CDs are remarkably good--much better than what I was getting going through analog into my Masterlink with its onboard converters.
Some items of interest:
You'll need your serial number from the back of the TASCAM to register your software. I printed mine with a label maker & placed it on the top of the unit for quick reference.
I have not been able to burn a gapless CD.
There is an audible tick within the first 5 ms of every track (which I don't notice in DSD playback through the DVRA-1000). I've started using the MARK command between movements of classical stuff instead of splitting tracks while recording.
I haven't been able to burn a DVD-A without ticks at the track transitions. Of course, my track transitions are not exactly at zero-crossings in both channels, so for now I'm attributing it to that and not the software.
The software converts each stereo DSD track into a Left WAV (0) and a Right WAV (1) and stores these WAVs in a cache folder on the hard drive. During editing I bounce these to a new stereo track panned hard left and right.
The software will accept only
stereo DSD or PCM files. I haven't been able to pull in the decimated left & right files later--only the stereo DSD original, or a stereo WAV bounced from the original left & right PCM files in Audition.
Even "overs" are showing up about 5dB or so down from 0 when converted to PCM. I haven't done a scientific level check here...I'll leave that up to you.
Interested in hearing others' experiences.
