Thoroughly designed in every aspect

Designed as the successor to the well-known DV-RA1000HD – a high-resolution PCM/DSD master recorder introduced in 2006 that used a harddisk or DVD media for audio recording – the DA-3000 is Tascam’s new flagship for high-definition audio recording and AD/DA conversion.

The sleek, modern DA-3000 fits in any recording studio, professional or home, for recording, mastering, broadcast, replacing a DAT machine or for audiophiles wanting to take the next step to perfection. It records to highly reliable solid-state SD or CompactFlash media, offers widely respected Burr-Brown converters and sophisticated preamplifiers built from selected components for outstanding sound quality. And its zero-noise design means no cooling fans or other mechanical noise sources as well as improved operational reliability and freedom of maintenance.

The unit supports high sampling rates up to PCM 192 kHz and DSD 5.6 MHz. High-precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXO) and dual monaural converters for each channel ensure pristine audio quality with sample accuracy at both recording and playback. Multiple DA-3000 units can be linked easily for simultaneous multi-channel/multi-track recording and a host of connectors is available on the rear panel to fit the unit in virtually any environment. There are also large, bright LED level meters and an OLED display to provide wide viewing angle and high visibility even under poor lighting conditions.

The DA-3000 comes with a wireless remote control and the ability to connect a computer keyboard for easy titling and control.

Details

Low noise with fully-balanced circuitry and high-quality A/D converters

The internal audio circuit uses a fully-balanced structure that is completely resistant to noise from the inputs and outputs. This has a great effect on the output and input stage and the resulting audio quality. The input audio passes through the analogue input stage and is then digitalized by a BurrBrown PCM4202 A/D converter.

The dual mono output circuitry prevents left and right channels from interfering with each other, improving sound quality over other designs by taking full advantage of component performance. Each channel uses one highly-acclaimed BurrBrown PCM1795 D/A converter chip that supports DSD and is characterised by a particularly high signal-to-noise ratio and very low distortion. This all combines to make the DA-3000 also a portable high-quality monitoring system.

High-quality components selected after months of evaluation tests

Integrated circuits like operational amplifiers have a great impact on audio quality, so we carefully chose the NJM2114 and NE5532 which have proven themselves in sophisticated audio devices. In addition, we use low-impedance capacitors featuring low resistance, low noise, and high precision to achieve the best possible sound quality.

Carefully designed details from power supply to clock generation

In order to assure high audio quality throughout the product, a stable power supply is indispensable. The EI-core transformer incorporated into the DA-3000 has separate coils: one for all digital circuits and control panels and one for the analogue signal path, making it possible to capture even higher-quality signals by suppressing noise. In addition, for the clock generator, we use a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) that boasts 1-ppm precision.

Fanless design for a quiet listening environment

Cooling fans inside equipment generate noise and can cause loss of accuracy when monitoring at low volume levels. With the DA-3000, we achieve high performance in a fanless design, allowing you to maintain a comfortable monitoring environment that is free of fan noise. As a side effect, the unit is maintainance-free as it doesn’t require regular cleaning.

Additional features through firmware updates

Firmware version 2.0

The DA-3000 is now compatible with high-capacity SDXC cards. This means the maximum recording time with a 256-GB card increases to more than 234 hours at 44.1 kHz PCM, 55 hours at 192 kHz PCM and nearly 47 hours at 5.6 MHz DSD.
A new erase function (ERASE FORMAT) has been added for SD cards that ensures writing speed is reset to highest values after prolonged use.
The DA-3000’s firmware can now be updated also from SD and USB media.

Firmware version 1.10

The maximum search speed can be set to 10× or 100×.
Peak Hold can now be set for a time of 1 to 10 seconds (in 1-second increments).
When the current media has only 10 minutes of remaining recording time, the INFO indicator now lights red as a warning.
The DA-3000 can now be set to play all tracks on the medium (CONTINUOUS) or only one track at once (SINGLE).
Mark information now appears in a pop-up whenever a mark is moved to or passed when searching.
