I have a pcm-f1 tape of the Zuccherelli stuff from 30 years ago, for those with looooong memories. Must pull that into a wav file, but my f1 has no digital output. Hmmm
As it happens, I have a Sony PCM-701ES (incl SPDIF) with the CDP digital port added (designed, along with the "SoundSTreamer" it connected to, by Dave Malham), sitting around doing nothing. It cost several arms and legs when bought new, back in 1987. Last time I used it, several years ago, it recorded 16bit audio nicely to a bog-standard (and cheap) VHS recorder.
My question is, simply, are these things still in use/demand anywhere (e.g. for recovering vintage F1 recordings, which I merely assume it can do)? I also used the CDP port to connect (via a tiny bit of DIY buffer electronics) to a now utterly obsolete but cute IDE-based 56001 dsp development card. The port gives you direct access to the otherwise internal serial data and clock lines.
There is currently one on Ebay "Buy It Now" for £150 plus shipping. I guess shipping by UK courier would be around £25. I would only take the plunge on Ebay if I could be sure of a price good enough to justify "letting it go".
