No, *.DAT output from SuperAuthor.

No, not Digital Audio Tape -- *.DAT (data) is effectively an image file created by Philips SuperAuthor. Usually it's exported to AIT-2 tape and sent to an SACD pressing facility. (Compare to a *.DMG, *.ISO or *.IMG file)

I've successfully done this with my DVRA-1000 using DSDIFF files; The result is SACD playback, not RBCD. The player identifies it as an SACD, and the files imported into SuperAuthor are 100% DSD DSDIFF files produced by the RA-1000.

UDF (Universal Disc Format)is a filesystem format (as compared to ISO9660 for CD/DVD; UDF 1.02, etc) - UDF is what SACD uses; (UDF 2.5 is also used for Blu-Ray.)
