Most, if not all, audio DAT machines have a digital output, which when coupled
with the proper computer hardware/software (Digidesign http://www.digidesign.com
Sonic http://www.sonic.com ) will allow you to capture the audio from the DAT
without "Digital-Analog-Digital" conversion.

I would try to contact a local audio mixing facility which should have the
equipment and the expertise to help you.

 If you are talking Audio DAT, then no, Retrospect would have no way
 of knowing how to read that format.  However, a standard Audio DAT
 player would be able to play the DAT tapes into a Mac, and digitize
 it.  However that would be a Digital-Analog-Digital conversion.

 However, if the DAT tape contains data (mp3 files) backed-up
 retrospect will be able to restore those files and toast can burn
 those files to cdrom.

WARNING OT QUESTION

Hi All I know this is OT but who else knows tons about DAT?

I have a client with a load of DAT audio which they want to get off onto CD

I know the latest version of Toast will get audio from a variety of sources
(Vinyl etc) but I don't think it will get audio off DAT

Does anyone know of sw which will get audio data off DAT to then MP3 or burn
to CD (Mac based)

Robin,

IN case you don't get an answer here, you might want to take a look 
at some lists that Adaptec runs. I'm not wildly crazy about their 
list format, but there is some really good information buried in 
there.

To see what they offer:
