Re DCC decks handling analog tapes

It will also spit out the analog tapes with S/PDIF and Coax :)

If this is so regarding DCC decks digitizing the signals that come out of
analogue cassettes, then this could be good for cassette restoration
exercises.
If you use a soundcard or USB-SPDIF "block" that can capture SPDIF signals,
you could record a cassette to hard disk as a WAV file using the DCC's
on-board A/D process. By containing the analogue process in the DCC deck
during this exercise and the fact that DCC decks may digitize "post-Dolby"
or apply the Dolby playback curve using a bit of DSP, there is very little
risk of computer interference getting into the playback chain.
Then you use a good sound-editor package like SoundForge to "treat" the
sound of the cassette recording that you captured. Here you could do effects
like applying frequency filters to the sound to cut out tape hiss or
augmenting the sound level to bring-up low-level recordings.
Then you export the "finished" recording to CDR as a Red-Book volume or to
MD.
