I for one don't know what you're asking, but yes a regular cassette
deck takes analog audio inputs and produces analog audio output (and
stores the recording in a modulated analog format on magnet tape in a
compact cassette shell). The audio hookup is typically via RCA style
or "phono" connectors that hook handily to a stereo receiver.

Was there more to your question?

A regular cassette deck is an analog device. The format was invented
before digital audio. There was a DCC (Digital Cassette) on the
market briefly, but the format quickly died. On the outside chance
that you have a tape recorded in this format, it won't play on an
analog cassette deck.
A standard analog cassette will play on a standard cassette deck.
