Thoughts on DAT tape? Any users?


I know, I know!
Yet another old dead end format but hear me out...lol.

I still do a lot of home recording and now I am down to just my cassette decks having sold off all my r2r gear.

Looking at DAT tape it seems like it should make for high quality audio recordings but does it?
Equipment and media are not outrageous prices yet....
So any actual users or ex users rather than just internet cowboys care to comment?
Thank you and stay safe!

I would prefer to use a good ADC and record directly to a laptop computer. As to software, for simple 2-channel recordings, Steinberg Wavelab Elements offers a lot of functionality for about $100. There are free alternatives, but they are more complex to learn IMO.
