What does it mean word for word?
다시 한번 is composed of 다시, meaning "again" and 한번, meaning "once".
Which one should you use?
While 다시 is the simple adverb for "again", 다시 한번 emphasizes the specific act of doing something "one more time". In contrast, 또다시 often carries a nuance of something happening repeatedly or unexpectedly, sometimes with a negative connotation such as "it happened yet again". If you want to describe an action that occurs many times or continuously rather than a single additional instance, use 거듭, which means "repeatedly" or "over and over".
