- If that is so, then doesn't that imply a "digital" interface. I knew
- DCC was a digital encoded signal, but I thought the inputs and
- outputs of a DCC deck would be analog only.
- If the DCC output is always analog, then what does the SCMS
- coding provide or do for the recording industry? Or is there some
- type of analog SCMS encoding been developed that we haven't heard
- about (that is, an SCMS encoding that is present in the analog
- mode at the audio out of a DCC deck?)
