- Would it not be possible to have a digital record in port, which
- bypasses this compression circuit? After all, why can't one DCC record the
- exact "bitmap" of the other, as a floppy can copy directly off of the hard
- drive of a computer. While one can argue if this method of bit copying can
- lead to degradation, I think it'll be far less than running it through the
- compression circuitry every time.
