Whichever DAC you are using to get the analog out, why not channel that analog directly to the amplifier? You must be having a good reason to have the analog stored on tape first? It can’t be just a nostalgia. I am curious.
Hello sir I have a quick question < I have a sony walkman WM-D6 , when I put battery on it after so long in storage, it briefly sounded when I played the cassette , but the sound faded away ,and now no sound at all, is this a sign of a capacitor breakdown , that need to be replaced after so many yrears? it play when I press play. rewinds and fastforward. Please help.
