My first DAT was a D7. A particularly nasty little machine, with incredibly
grainy course sound. And horrible distortion if the signal went anything
above the -12 dot. On the other hand, my current DTC-ZE700 sounds great,
but is not portable.

My laptop/Transit sounds even better, as long as it is running off battery.
On PSU (SMPS) it put a buzz noise thru everythingat about -55dB.
