Watch your error rates.
Thanks for the info Scott,
OK Now I'll really let my ignorance show. Where do you look to see an
error rate? I hear error rates referred to periodically, but I never
see anything on my Dat machine or in Nuendo where they are checked.
Obviously if there is an actual drop out I catch it. This has happened
on a rare occasion. There is something in Wave Lab that looks for
errors and will find hundreds to thousands of errors depending on
where I set the threshold. I'm not sure where to set it. These are
errors that are completely inaudible as far as I'm concerned.
Why do they matter? outside of indicating a problem with the mechanics
of my Dat machine? The errors I find are in files recorded direct into
my daw as well as from the Dat.

On my 3 dat machines, it's a weird button push combo. I never remember. I
look it up in the manual each time.
