What exactly are you trying to compare:
- compression v no compression
- analog stage v analog stage
- ADC v ADC
How you patch your gear together depends on which of the above you want to compare, and the functionality available on your MD.
depends on your deck, if you have a full size like mine, it has rca outs, so i used an rca>mini, or if your pre has an rca out then use it, if not, then your gonna have to go mini>mini out from your headphone jack, but i think that will burn up your batteries quicker. but will still work. i did the same thing the first time i used my dat, and trust me you'll be amazed, i was. +T to ya. hope your first tape sounds as sick as mine.

I have an MD player in my car stereo, so at shows I'll run the coax out of my UA5 to my DAT, and the optical out to MD so that I can listen to my tape on the way home through the MD. First night I ran my DAT though I ran my old rig with my AT853s > batt box > Sharp SR60 and my new rig with the MC012s > PS2 > M1, and was blown away at the vast difference between them!
