Thanks. A search on DIGA gave a UK website which partially describes
DIGA operation, but without an in depth analysis of the circuitry. It
looks like your description isn't far off the money.

I'll definitely have a closer look at these tomorrow. I've had a look
at a couple of the oldest tapes I need to encode, they're very noisy,
with smear and bleed . For these really old tapes, seems the noise
reduction processing will be more important than keeping the artifacts
down.
