DATs are digital audio tapes.
They're the same tapes as what's used in a backup drive.
10 years ago they were the only way to record music
digitally. Basically I'm doing the same thing you are,
transferring music from tapes to CD except that you'll be
using an RCA cord while I'll be using an optical cord.
The Dat format never became popular. DAT decks never
came down in price, $500 was about as cheap as they got.
Now they're basically obselete but some studios use them
for mixing. They record in at least CD quality some of the
soundboard recordings I have on DATs sound a drop better
better than CDs. The problem is tapes are much more prone
to deterioration than CDs, even digial tapes so I want to transfer everything I have on DAT to CD.
