Default DBX 224x question

Quick question. I have a bunch of old audio cassette recordings that
were recorded with a consumer-grade Sony tape deck -- most with Dolby
B/C turned on. Now I want to copy those recordings to CD with a CD
recorder. Would it do me any good to throw a DBX 224x in between the
two decks? I don't have a clear understanding of what that unit does
-- does it work on non-DBX-encoded recordings?

Thanks!

If the cassettes were recorded Dolby encoded, then you need to decode them
before copying to CDR. dbx won't help, as this was also a two-way
encoding/decoding process albeit one that wasn't level dependent like Dolby.

If at all possible, use the same deck to replay the recordings as was used
to record them. There's a better chance that azimuth, track position and
Dolby tracking will be similar to how they were recorded.
