Denon DMD-1550G (1300 with Gold with wooden side panels)
Features: Sampling rate converter (always in effect, circumventing input jitter and time base problems). Sigma-Delta ADC with 64X oversampling. Divide, combine, move, erase (60ms positional accuracy), but no rehearse function. Program, repeat and random play modes.
Comments: German Stereo Magazine: First home recorder that has no Sony parts. Contains Sharp MD drive and Sharp single chip ATRAC/sample rate converter circuit equivalent to Sony's ATRAC 4. Sounds nearly as good as the Sony MDS-JA3ES but costs only about half as much.
Specs: S/N 105dB (playback), Dynamic range 96dB. 16W.
ATRAC IC for DMD-1550G: LR37643 (page 22) LR37545 (page 36) The service manual lists both part#'s at different points.
Sharp ATRAC 6
Optical Block: 937 0159 213 (denon part#)
