Computer editing is so much easier to do, the tape recorders were only easy to use if you were brought up on splicing tapes, from what I have been told, the 2 track digital machines were made in very small numbers, the other DASH I have K8113 a sales prototype (SN 00002) was thought to have been only 50 made for demonstrations to the world what Sony have made.
cool machine . analog & digital, profesional quality, but , one question sir , actually records company and music artists use this format for produce music ? or DAT format Kills reel to reel? ( sorry for my english) thanks for your answer.
A few good reasons, at the time, the shelf live of a DAT recording was 1/3 of the self life of a DASH recording as the DASH has a higher less compressed error correction code, also being a stationary head and not a rotary head, the engineers use to editing with a blade still could do as this recorder can have the tape spliced and with the CRC system, it will not be noticed.
From what I know, Sony made the first digital recorder using a U-Matic video recorder, it was not successful, the Sony DASH PCM-3202 them the 3402 were the first successful mastering recorders to be made, in competition with the not so stable pro-digi from Mitsubishi, or so I believe.
3M had a prototype digital machine back in the late 70's. It used 1" tape at 45 inches per second. It was at the Sound 80 studio (Tom Jung) and was used to record Flim & The BB's first album.
"Why did they need this when they had DAT cassettes?"
I know you received answers to this question, but here's another reason: drop outs.
DAT uses very narrow and relatively thinner tape. This, coupled with the fact that DAT heads are helical rotary, makes DAT recordings more prone to suffering from drop out errors, especially after multiple passes on the same tape.
I would love to have some more of these but I am in the UK, do you have any spare capstan motors or sensor boards (With the DCM211 sensor on them, under the reel hubs and the tape counter), I would be very interested

The best-sounding digital audio recordings were made with machines such as these. Peace.
