I think it makes more sense for the DAT copy-protection to work like this:

DAT can take 44.1 kHz data ==> 48 kHz
DAT will not take 48 kHz data

44.1 kHz is the rate CD's are recorded at, 48 kHz is the DAT rate.
Of course, this method would not let you make DAT-to-DAT tapes of your
daughters first glockenspiel recital, but the record companies don't care
about that!

(Note also that the copy-protection will not prevent you from re-digitizing the
analogue output)

Question: Has anyone SEEN the specs, the DETAILS?
