The DA-20mkII has the following improvements over the standard DA-20:

• The A-D and D-A converters have been upgraded to newer delta-sigma devices, and the audio signal path has been similarly optimised.
• The error correction system has also been made more robust.
• An error rate display function has been added.
• A new sampling monitor function that works if you press Record while the transport is stopped.
• The inclusion of a self-diagnostic system that puts up error messages if certain fault conditions exist

The DA-20mkII provides analog I/O on unbalanced RCAs. Digital I/O is provided on SPDIF coax. All standard DAT recording modes are supported: 32kHz long play, 44.1kHz CD-compatible, and 48kHz DAT standard.

The DA-20mkII can override SCMS code limitations. SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) was designed for consumer DAT recorders to thwart pirating of copy written material. Of course, SCMS doesn't consider who owns the copyright. So if your recorder cannot override SCMS codes, you may also be prevented from copying material that is public domain, or material that you own. Since the DA-20mkII can override these codes, this won't be a concern.

The RC-D20 wireless remote was supplied with the DA-20mkII.
