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 can see only disadvantages to recording digital to tape. Tape is inherently prone to wear and breakage, plus there's the cost of the media itself. Why not just record direct to HD or SSD?
