I have some production master clones on DAT with delivery logs generated by different versions of Sonic Solutions CD Pre-Mastering System. Below is a list of DATs I have with Artist(s) - Album - Master Catalog Number - Sonic Solutions CD Pre-Mastering System version. I have other DATs with either missing delivery logs, missing Sonic Solutions version numbers, or possibly not generated in Sonic Solutions.
Don Henley - Inside Job - 4-47083-RE1, 5.4hp 1/7/99 Super Version
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance - 4-46702-RE3, 5.2.1 Super Version
Jewel - Pieces of You (reissue) - 80739-2, 2.2.6
Various: More Music from the Motion Picture the Wedding Singer (HDCD Encoded) - 4-46984, 5.3.2
Anyways, I was trying to archive these using a Sony PCM-7040 DAT deck and a Marantz PMD580 Solid State Recorder using AES / EBU, but the wav files that are written to my CompactFlash card are not bit perfect because this process seems to destroy the HDCD encoding present on the DATs I have.
I do not have access to a Sonic Solutions Workstation, so I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to try and preserve these DATs accurately?
