I blieve DAT has 3 sampling rates, the highest being 48KHz. Not much better
than a CD with 44.1 KHz. I'm totally loyal to CD's now. I have CD player
and I no longer own LPs, but it would have been nice if the sampling rate
could have been 88.2 KHz. I could have lived with a CD that has only 38
minutes of record time. The reduced high frequency phase shift would have
been well worth it.
