I didn't set out to find a good digital player, but I found one in this rather unassuming DAT. I do binaural recordings of nature and music, and I was pretty frustrated with the SQ from the Olympus LS-10. Once I made the upgrade to the D50, I took it for a spin with some WAV files, just for fun.
It has nice, clean signal paths with a good, strong amp built-in. Having tried some other portable gear at this year's CanJam, I find the D50 more powerful, more detailed, and smoother. It pairs really well with my UM3x, apart from needing some attenuation. It's a little steep at $500, but if you're like me and want a good DAT anyway, the DAP functionality is a nice bonus.
