"I've always found the DA20 to be a straightforward, fine‑sounding DAT recorder, so the sonic improvements in the DA20 MkII are quite subtle, but having a proper error readout is very welcome, as are the other enhancements described earlier. In my view, the only real weakness of this machine for professional applications is the use of unbalanced phonos for the analogue ins and outs, though in most private studios, that won't compromise the quality of the final recording. If you haven't used a DA20 before, you'll almost certainly appreciate the clearly set‑out control panel and the positive transport. The DA20 MkII is identical in layout, and although there are some consumer features you may never use, they are arranged so as to keep out of your way unless you want them. In value terms, one of the best deals in studio DAT machines has just got a little better and a little cheaper, which is not to be sniffed at!"
