If you like the sound of that old DAT recorder and think it sounds more analog; you might try more EQ. Roll-Off some or a lot of Bass at any where around 20HZ or 160Hz and Roll-Off some or a lot of Treble anywhere from 8 to 12Khz.

I've been fooling around with rooling off highs on my masterlink and then normalizing to make up for the lost dbs. I find it smooths out the sound some. It's tricky though you can also wind-up deadening the sound.
