Right - as I recall, the HHB gold CD-Rs were made by Mitsui. And, their first CD recorder - the one with the upside-down disc loading - was a Pioneer consumer machine outfitted with balanced digital and analog I/O. That was my first CD recorder at Crane and it worked great until it failed.

HHB had most of their equipment made by some manufacturer that was specialized in that brand. HHB was more or less a selling organization.
My guess is that also the HHB DAT cassettes were made by some major manufacturer.
