DSD Multitrack Recorder
DS-D98
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).
