i was just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to connect a DAT

location sound recording for film, but would also like to be able to
record sounds and manipulate them for post production, i'm just trying
to figure out what would be the best recorder to get. if anyone can
let me know how i'd go about transferring from DAT to mac, then that'd
be great, like what equipment i might need, and if i'd lose any
quality through doing so, then i'd be very grateful

Sure, you can get an S-PDIF input for the Mac on a variety of cards. The
transfer is realtime only, but I don't see any problem with that.

If it's a new G5 it already has optical I/O built-in. And we'd say "it's
about time"...
