The TEAC X2000R and AKAI GX-747DBX, both of which have DBX Type 1 built in, and can be used, or not used depending on the desires of the owner of the machine. These 2 particular machines have a Dynamic Range of 128 with DBX Type 1 switch engaged. That is better than digital. And my recordings tend to sound so, I must say people are very impressed when I let them listen to my reel to reel recordings. Ray
