Vinyl recordings - best methods

Quick question: how DSD128 or 2xDSD corresponds to SACDs I am buying all the time?

Personally, I agree with sevs, stay in analog.  Don't be so overly concerned about your cassette decks or reel to reels electronics.  Really, I had years of studio experience and I can promise you that many of your favorite recordings were done on a multitrack reel to reel and analog sound boards filled with op amps and run of the mill (cheap) interconnects and cables.

I remember doing mix down master tapes using Crowns, Scullys, Studers, Ampex, Teac/TASCAMs, SONYs, etc.. 

The sound was and is incredible.  Currently my Pioneer RT-1050 is my favorite machine.  High speed, plug in headstacks, adjustable bias, NAB/IEC eq, etc.. Hard to ask for more.  The recordings I make, both live and often from my own source LP or compact disc are (to me) perfect.  Not to mention playing my growing collection of master tapes.

I also record many of my favorite LP's to cassette and enjoy this small format as well.  I have many audio friends who have purchased Nakamichis after listening to mine.  

There is simply another levle of enjoyment with analog tape.  I recommend this format as much as I do vinyl LP.

In my system (see my profile) and to my ears vinyl sounds better than Wadia on SACDs but thanks for the tip! I will try Tascam, $1k . Question: did you manage to make it work with Windows (or Mac)? Or is it still SD cards? 

It still uses SD cards.  I read those into a Windows 10 laptop that hosts Tascam Hi-Res editing software, and from there wirelessly to a NAS.
