The Masterlink (from 1999?) came with a 40G drive and, even at 24/48, it was considered woefully small.

To be fair, when the Masterlink first came out the drive was much smaller...for some reason I'm thinking it was either 2.6 GB 3.2 GB. I know at one point it was bumped up to about 6 GB, then 20, and more recently 40...and even though that's relatively small by today's standards I don't know if I'd consider it "woefully small"...that's about 24 hours or stereo recording at 24/96...

I am curious to know how fast you eat up a drive at 5.6M sampling. What's the record length in stereo of that 20G drive?
|
Should be about 67.2 megabytes per minute, or about five hours.
There were a couple things in the Korg paper that seemed a little odd to me...

"surprisingly, most current 24-bit converters already use 1-bit conversion at the front end"

As I understand it, most current converters moved to a multi-bit front a few years back...

"and these 1-bit SACD's have been commercially available since 1999 with over 4,000 titles available"

No mention the fact that most have effectively abandoned the format and that the number of titles and players available is constantly decreasing...
