Yes, of course. It would be absurd to try to use any kind of traditional
Dolby noise reduction when recording digitally. Which is why we all
jumped to the obvious assumption that the OP was talking about the
decoding of previously recorded tapes. Admittedly, that assumption
should have been explicitly stated.

Folks actually DID try using NR through digital systems back in the
early eighties. I knew a couple folks who used DBX systems running into
PCM F-1 machines and it did seem to tame some of the low-level buzziness
problems of the F-1.

Thank God that's all over.
