Methinks that someone has never heard a decent tape deck. There is a difference between a high quality (not found at most electronics chain stores) tape deck and the battery operated portable "cassette recorder" you're apparently using.
The magnetic media on a cassette tape has a very, very high sample rate and bit rate -- it's analog. That's what that means. Nearly infinite.
It's just that the bits will degrade, and there's no error correction.
Get a good, 3 head cassette player -- and leave any Pioneer out that isn't in their "elite" line, and all Sony's (including ES -- I've heard them), and you're left with the Denon pro line, ReVox, some Tascam units, and a couple of Marantz units (not their portables -- their decks). Any of these will make a cassette that is virtually indistinguishable from a CD as long as they are properly maintained.
And if recording from the source, any of these with a high quality cassette will make a recording better in many respects than a DAT.
You did realize that they've come out with a "new", "chrome" cassette formulation, didn't you? There's also one with encapsulated iron particles! (Called "metal".)
Well, I didn't see anyone else use it, and I think it might apply . . . but it could be too related to their major.
Pretty much straight-ahead business simulation game:
