How to Convert DAT to WAV Audio

DAT, or digital audio tape, was invented by Sony in the 1980s. It is a tape recording system, but as the name implies the audio signal is encoded in a digital format rather than analog. Converting DAT audio files to WAV preserves the quality of the original recordings faithfully, as WAV audio files are raw and uncompressed.
