All my DAT recorder drives are broken, the only reason to keep them is to have DACs and ADCs I could use via S/PDIF, in addition to the analog I/Os and ADAT I/Os of my audio devices, just in case I ever should need additional I/Os, which actually never happened. You already could get a semi-professional OOTB Linux compatible, especially class compliant audio device, for half of the price even a second hand DAT recorder does cost. I could use my broken DAT recorders converters via S/PDIF with my audio devices. 1. One of my broken DAT recorders is a Sony consumer DAT. Better discontinue to use a consumer DAT recorder, soon or later they all suffer from drive issues. 2. If you wish to continue using a DAT recorder in combination with your computer, then consider to spend more than 23,85 € for your computer's audio device. It isn't worth the hassle to save on the wrong things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
