Define "better".
DAT is uncompressed. It uses no compression scheme.
If "better" means more pleasing to the listener, the answer is "maybe." Some
people might like the sound resulting from ATRAC R while others will prefer
that of the uncompressed digital signal.
But if "better" means more faithful to the original, ATRAC R is still lossy,
and uncompressed digital audio on DAT or CD is better by that definition.
