- digital audio interface (has no AD/DA converter)
- records 16 bit digital audio to hard disk from the digital output of CD or DAT players
- 16 bit digital audio playback through the connected CD or DAT player
- 14 bit quality analogue playback through the Amiga internal audio
- optical input / output, coaxial input
- jumper selects between the input connectors (only one at a time)
- 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sample rates
- for playback the card itself has only a 48 kHz oscillator, so all other rates have to be obtained from a device connected to either of the two inputs – eg. for 44.1 kHz playback a CD player has to be connected and turned on without playing any CD
- one track only
- ability to remove DAT copy protection without using the CPU
- AHI driver
- backup software – use audio DATs as a backup device
flaws: one damaged connector, but still working
