On the other hand, you could always do what I did.  Namely, purchase a
Sony DTC-1000ES and clip one of the diodes from the front panel.  It then
records at 44.1 just fine....  Except for stuff with the copy-prohibit bit
set, but that's another story..

It's an elegant solution:  Not much purchasing, and even less engineering...

Seriously, if there is any interest, e-mail to my address and I'll dismantle
the DTC-1000ES to remember which diode it is.  If you look for it yourself,
you can't miss it.  It's near where the Analog/Digital selector switch is,
and it's the only one there which ISN'T wave-soldered.  I mean, you can tell
this thing was put on by hand, it's such a baaaaad soldering job....

And in defference to the old Sony-vs.-CBS debacle over DAT home recording,
if what you're after is pirating CDs, then DAT is not a very cost-effective
solution.  You are much better off buying a Sony PCM-601ESD processor (which
runs at 44.1 anyway) running the CD into it, and then hooking up your favorite
VCR in extended record mode.  Six hours of CD-quality audio for the cost of
an $8.00 blank tape?  Now that's cost-effective!  And it even comes with its
own built-in "music video" :-).
