I apologize if this is the wrong newsgroup for a newbie. I want to
make digital recordings from an analog source -- mostly transferring

and performance advantages of DAT vs MiniDisc?



DAT is lossless, MD is lossy (ATRAC).

The latest generation, Hi-MD, can record 16 bit uncompressed
PCM. Info at:
