Tascam DA-3000

HI to everyone.
I have 1500 albums that I would like to transfer on to MD
Recorder but I was adviced by one of fellow Audiogoner that the best option would be Tascam DA-3000.
I searched a little bit and it sounds like a good idea but there is a problem. Every 2GB of data the files would be cut
so I would need the software to fix that. Maybe I didn't
understand what he was trying to explain since I never used
that kind of recorders.
I would appreciate opinions.

DHL the output on the headphone jack sucks, I agree, but the output to the sacd card is great.

Dtc,

No problem. It's okay for people to share their opinions.
I actually gave up. I'll stick with the vinyl.
Later on I might transfer albums on the CD-s.
(hopefully that is not going to be a problem).

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on the SQ.

When I get the Benchmark ADC1 USB and hook it up to the Tascam I'll report back.

Dhl did you just use headphone out or did you listen after downloading files to hard drive and then listen through your main system.

See the details under my post above on 11/8.

Yes, I recorded a cut from an LP at 24/96K in WAV on the Tascam. Converted to FLAC on my PC, but also listened to the raw WAV file as well. Compared directly to my system playing the identical vinyl LP and three other versions ripped from CD to 16/44.1K FLAC.

My playback system is Bryston BDP-1 to BDA-1 to Parasound JC2 for digital files; Phono is AT OC9/ii cart/SME IV arm/Technics 150 SLMKII turntable (modded with outboard PS)/Luxman MC transformer/Spectral DMC-10 phono preamp to Parasound JC2.

Significant detail in the phono was missing in the recorded digital file. It was obvious on an A/B comparison.
