I've found someone who still has a few Akai DPS16 v.3 models including the effects board, but effects aren't important to me, and I honestly do not plan on using any of them.
Is it possible to operate one without the effects board or is it something that ALWAYS needs to be in regardless of whether or not you are using the effects? Is dithering down from 24 to 16-bit a task of the effects card? compressing? Or is the effects card just something you plug in when you need effects?
I play mostly jazz and classical and am really just looking for a no-frills recorder. If I don't NEED the board to operate the recorder, then I might be able to save some money.
Do I know what I'm talking about?
