The PCM-2500 is the professional version of the DTC-1000ES. The PCM-2500 is in fact made of two boxes: the drive and the d/a & sync section. It retained the same build-quality, including the copper-plated chassis.

Like on the 1000ES original, ABS Time was not yet implemented but one could record at 44.1 from the analog inputs (unlike on the 1000ES).

The 2500B holds balanced and RCA analog plugs, a combination of S/PDIF i/os, a set of SDIF (Sony Digital Interface) i/os, a set of AES/EBU digital plugs plus the regular BNC for internal or external TTL sync.

The vertical port is the main connection between the A and B PCMs, allowing to hook them with only one wire.
