# Tascam Portacapture X8: specs and price

**Price (US):** Not published (No verbatim USD price could be sourced. The TASCAM US product/spec page lists no price. Fetchable retailer pages either returned HTTP 403 (Sweetwater, B&H, Adorama, Full Compass, zZounds, Sam Ash, Reverb) or render the buy-box price client-side so it is absent from the fetched text (Guitar Center, Music & Arts, Amazon all showed no price string). A web-search snippet suggested ~$399 at Sweetwater, but that figure did not appear verbatim on any page I successfully fetched, so priceUsd is left null rather than guessed.), as of 2026-07-11.
**Brand:** Tascam
**Deskmark:** Gold Deskmark — pay-blind category standing 58/100, #2 of 7 in class (independent, computed from sourced data, never for sale).
