maxg Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_10130.html Well - it is from Sony so I guess they are the ones that would be able to produce it....I wonder what you use for source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobliss69 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hmm, very interesting. I honestly would have thought it'd have a more powerful CPU. And a larger HDD. The graphics card actually looks pretty nice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Probably this can record in DSD but cannot make an SACD. There is a complex authoring process involved in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobliss69 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What is 'DSD'? I've never heard of that format. I assume it's similar to SACD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 From the link below: Q: What is DSD? A: Direct Stream Digital is a digital formatdevised by Sony for the Super Audio CD player. It plays audio at2.822MHz, or 64 times the rate of a traditional 44.1KHz CD. It is a1-bit signal, unlike the 16-bit signal of a CD. Many audiophiles agreethat DSD has the best sound quality of any digital format, and betterthan any analog format as well. Q: Does the DV-RA1000 record Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio discs?A: No. It records audio files that are ideal for mastering to DVD-Audio(DVD-A) or Super Audio CD (SACD). However, discs recorded in theDV-RA1000 cannot be played in a SACD or DVD-A player. http://www.tascam.com/Products/DV-RA1000/DVRA1000FAQ.html My guess is that the guy describing the Sony computer is making theassumption that since it records DSD, it is the same as making an SACD.But that's not the case.

audiobliss69 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ha; that's interesting. 64 times the rate of a regular CD is pretty good; but a 1-bit signal? Fill me in here, does the extra rate sorta cancel out the missing 15-bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
