Quote Hugh Robjohns:

I wonder also if the machine can output S/PDIF in this format at all because of the need to transcode between 12-bit non-linear and the 16 bit linear format required by everything else.


Transferring a load of long-play DATs awaits me...

Assuming my computer interface and software can handle 32kHz sample rate, then *if* the DAT machine outputs anything at all on the S/PDIF port, *then* it should be 16 bit linear format, right ?

ie. so I hopefully won't have to worry about somehow converting from the 12-bit non-linear format myself, in the computer ?
