In article writes:

One very important thing to consider if you go down the route of the
portable harddisk recorder such as The Jukebox is the quality of the A/D
(Analogue to Digital) converter inside them. I don't know a lot about The
Jukebox, but a professional DAT walkman is likely to have a very high
quality A/D inside it, maybe of higher quality than The Jukebox.

The Jukebox is remarkably good. If you wanted a better converter for
your Walkman DAT, you got the SBM-1 Super Bit Mapping accessory A/D
converter. I can't imagine that the stock Sony Walkman DAT converter
sounds better than what's in the Jukebox. It's no Prism, but it's no
slouch either. The worst thing about the Jukebox is the mini jack for
input. If they made it big enough to put a pair of 1/4" TRS jacks on
it I'd have no complaints at all.
