Pioneer - CT-W806DR - DAC Digital DNR - HX PRO Audio-cassette deck

Rare High End auto-reverse cassette recorder for the true enthusiast, packed with all kinds of super luxurious features but above all extremely good sound quality due digital signal processing.

This deck is really a hidden gem, almost as good as the 3-head sibling (Pioneer CT-S670D) with all the digital DSP features like FLEX which really helps with older, less than optimal recordings, and also for new recordings due to Super Auto BLE XD which helps with adaption to all types of tapes in a very good way. Not many units available and prices are going up! Get one while you can!

After the failure of DCC (Digital Compact Cassette), Pioneer came up with the idea of ​​creating a cassette deck that applied 20-bit digital processing to conventional analog audio cassette tapes. This is one of the few recorders that works with this principle. Sublime S/N ratio of up to 90 dB.

Features: Dolby B and C noise reduction, DPS (Digital Processing System) for extremely sharp, clear sounds, 20-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, synchro recording on CD deck, music search with + /-, memory for 15 songs, super fast and normal speed copying, Dolby SR remote control connections, headphone output, multifunctional fluorescent display, digital tape counter with choice between standard 4-digit display and minute:second display, Full Logic touch keys, automatic MPX, FLEX (Frequency Level Expander) TDNS (Digital Noise Reduction), Super Auto BLE XD, dual logic tape transports i.e. both decks powered by two independent motors.
