  Of cource, the reviewer could have been comparing a first generation DAT
  deck to a latest generation Minidisc, in which case I'd expect the MD to
  sound better due to better DAC and (if recording analogue) ADC.

  Of course, if the same DAC and ADC were used for both tests, then the DAT
  would stomp all over the MD.

  My three portable devices are Sony D321 CD, Sony D7 DAT, and now Sony E40
  MD - I use the MD most.
