Description

Sony Digital Audio Recorder.Excellent condition. Sony's DTC-ZE700 Digital Audio Tape Recorder was introduced in October 1996

Features include Super Bit Mapping technology, an Advanced pulse D/A converter, and an Anti-Resonant Mid-Ship drive, which reduces radiated noise. Additional features are the Sony 3 Motor Mechanism, and Optical and coaxial digital inputs.

Features Sony's SBM, a process that raises the standard of DAT recording and playback quality. The basic theory is that when you record on the DTC-ZE700 through its 24-bit analog converters using SBM, the processor filters the 24-bit audio to yield a final product that sounds better than normal 16-bit quality. SBM does that by weaving out the least significant 8-bit information into 16-bit filtered data.

Sony claims the reshaped noise pattern results in deeper bass and more dynamic midrange. According to Sony, by reorienting quantization noise to frequencies above 15,000 Hz - where human hearing is far less sensitive - the SBM process can achieve a result that is comparable to nearly 20-bit quality, yet you can still play the DAT on any DAT recorder/player.

I have tried it out recently, after it had been out of use for some time. It is still working, and the sound quality is excellent in my opinion.

I think €200 is a very fair price for the DAT machine, so thanks for the offers but I will not accept them at present. If I drop the price on the ad please feel free to bid again.

Do you mean DM, as in Direct Message? I prefer to conduct all communications on this page, until an offer has been accepted.

nps. i just bought a dat player on adverts the other day. Looks like there was an issue with the player- it ate 4x of my tapes! :-( ....im sending it back and the seller has agreed to give me a full refund. I dunno how much you know about DAT players but they are finicky AF. That being said, if i buy yours and there is an issue (after 1 or 2 days), would you provide refund? Or is it buy at your own risk.

Hi, There are no issues with my DAT player, as far as I am aware. I bought it new, and have had it for a good few years. My advertisement was in good faith and in keeping with the standards laid down by Adverts.ie. Having said that, buying an item second hand is different from buying something new, and that is reflected in the price. I would be reluctant to get into a situation where potential buyers get an item "on approval" to see whether they like it, before fully committing to a sale.

oh no, its not a matter of liking or not liking it. Its a matter of if it will work for at least 2x days basic functions under normal conditions. The recent example i shared with you is a prime example. Seller had no intention of selling something that would eat my tapes -but it did and *thankfully* he was sound enough to understand the overall situation and process accordingly. Anyways i think you answred my questions. Thanks
