Commentary
The premium DCC deck enables analog cassette tape playback and DCC tape recording / playback.
The D/A converter is equipped with a bit stream type DAC7, and the A/D converter is equipped with an 18-bit 64 x over-sampling A/D converter to reduce recording distortion and increase the dynamic range.
The DD-92 has a digital monitor function and can be used as an A → D, D → A, or A → D → A converter by driving the A/D converter and D/A converter independently.
The head uses a thin-film head that enables analog cassette tape playback and DCC tape recording and playback. Not only DCC software but also cassettes collected up to now can be used.
The construction uses a copper-plated chassis that absorbs high frequency components.
In addition to noise killer devices, parts such as die-cast side panels and OFC cables are used to improve sound quality.
It is equipped with various functions such as Append REC function, Sync REC function, Music playback / Repeat playback / Replay function, Automatic playback function based on marker recognition, Character information display function, etc.
