Message-ID: <11436@uwm.edu> Date: 26 Apr 91 14:04:52 GMT Sender: news@uwm.edu Lines: 16 Approved: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Originator: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Has anyone heard any information about the new digital format that is coming out sometime this summer? Is the new RDAT system supposed to be as good as existing DAT systems? How will the new Philips deck analog end stand up to normal tape players (the new dcc format I've heard will be able to play normal audio cassettes) What will the dynamic range be like? Thanks in advance, Kevin Melsheimer
