Well, you're too late for DAT. It's basically obsolete. You can rip all your CDs to your computer hard drive and then put them onto a micro SD memory card and play them in a FiiO digital player.

That's what they said about cassettes and LPs. Lol.

  Well, I think that's basically true, for me at least. Until two days ago I hadn't played an LP in over a year. A friend sent me five LPs he wanted me to copy to digital.
  
  With regard to analog cassette tape, I used to love it. I owned two Nakamichi Dragons, which were the finest cassette tape recorders I've ever encountered. However, in 1991 I bought my first DAT recorder and it replaced my two Dragons almost immediately.
  
  Now that we have high-resolution digital recorders, DAT has basically gone by the wayside. I still have an old TASCAM DAT recorder just in case I want to listen to all those old DATs I made years ago, but nowadays I do all my recording with a TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder.
  
  Good luck,
  John Elison
