2:12, “we do have 4x DSD” i.e. digital stream

3:50, about making copies of tapes, “we bring a computer with 4x DSD analog to digital converters”

Oh is that what that meant - I guess I am used to journalists "telegraphing" things but the youtuber just seemed to carry on. That sounded like "oh yes we do that" to me but the lack of reaction meant Inmisunderstood

Maybe I am too used to over the top influencers and presenters signalling everything I should react to. But sometimes if I am in a jargon filled world it would be nice for a guide.

That's part of the skill of a good interviewer: making sure that the audience can follow along, understanding what's actually being said. The interviewer here is obviously an audio enthusiast/record shop owner rather than a journalist, so it's not surprising that they haven't had so much practice at this!

(I've done interviewing for academic research, which has different goals but is also a skill. It's interesting how difficult it is at first.)
