Re: Is this lossy?

Definitely not 32K DAT, but not lossy either. The slope is indicative of a less-than-desirable analog source, most likely a cassette deck or cheaper cassette tape with natural cutoffs around 15k. And there are other processes that can produce that same slope, like the use of Dolby B on the cassette or noise reduction was applied at some point in the lineage.

These are very common lineages of older shows and are often zealously mislabled as lossy.
