I think thats the easiest way long term. It uses up extra tapes which arent exactly the cheapest things on the planet, but I havent bought a true audio grade DAT tape in a long time. The Sony data tapes have never let me down, and they cost half as much.
Thats the biggest thing stopping most people starting out to using dat also. You can burn a cd for 50 cents, it can cost you $20 to master onto a DAT.
