The Sony DTC-57ES was the replacement for the DTC-55ES.
The DTC-57ES was introduced in April 1991.
The DTC-57ES features a much improved tape transport, and added the date/hour/minutes/seconds recording feature.
The DTC-57ES was also available in a slightly stripped down version known as the DTC-750 (lacked the coaxial output).
Features
Serial copy management system
This unit utilizes the serial copy management system that permits digital-to-digital recording tor one generation. You can record CD sound or other digital formats through a digital-to-digital connection.
Date Function Automatically Stores The Recording Date And Time
The year, month, day, day of the week, hour, minute and second are automatically memorized in the subcode area during recording, so that during playback you can display this data to check when the tape was recorded. This function is especially convenient when recording live performances, etc.
Three sampling frequencies
Recording/playback can be done with three sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz).
48 kHz: For analog and digital input signals in a standard mode.
44.1 kHz: For compact disc and pre-recorded DAT tape.
32 kHz: For analog input signals in a long-play mode.
Long play mode
This unit can operate in a long-play mode. Analog input signals can be recorded or playback for up to four consecutive hours when the DT-120 DAT cassette tape is used. The sampling frequency will be 32 kHz in the long play mode.
Visible cassette loading
You can view the tape operation through the lid of the cassette compartment. Due to a revolutionary new transport mechanism, cassette loading time has been significantly reduced.
Excellent sound quality
• 1-bit A/D converter - For the A/D converter section which converts analog input signals to digital signals, the unit employs a 1-bit A/D converter which theoretically generates no zero-cross distortion for a clear, elegant sound quality.
• Pulse D/A converter - Superior playback performance is achieved with a 1-bit D/A converter.
Digital Fade In and Out
Professional sounding fade-in/fade-out of either digital or analog signals can be accomplished by use of the FADER button.
Rich variety of subcode information
This unit can record subcode information such as Start IDs, program numbers, Skip IDs, and absolute time data, enabling you to quickly locate tunes and display the playback time in the same manner as when playing compact discs.
Post edit recording of sub codes
You can record or rewrite the following sub codes after the audio signal recording has been completed. Start ID: Signifies the beginning of a selection.
Program number: Gives a number to the selection.
Skip ID: Signifies the beginning of a portion to be skipped.
End ID: Signifies the end position of recording/ playback.
Since sub codes are written on the tape separately from audio signals, the audio signals are not affected.

Welcome to the Webshop
The NOStubeshop webshop, an old "love" of the electron tube technology and its relation to rebirth, I created because of the needs that.
I thought that a lot of like-minded people rarely have the opportunity to visit these shops, on the one hand the lack of time and because there are very few of these shops. The Internet is now available everywhere in the postal courier companies to deliver it to all the goods.
Present specialties in itself.
Many old vacuum tube (NOS or operational use), is still not readily available, even from these few pieces trying to make up for the horrific prices instead áron.Segítek solid construction and repair advice is dealing with pipes for 35 years. In any case, I check the pipes IL-14 military vacuum tube tester and if needed also paired quad-sorting.
after prior appointment it is possible to choose goods on site as well.
I wish you a good time and all of our internet users purchase online store.
Thank interests.
