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.

Anyone used a Benchmark ADC1? Reviews indicate it may sound close to the Ayre at about half the cost.

Thanks for the update. I typically digitize at 24/192 but from your report, that is no going to make enough difference to make the Tascam viable. I know Chris at Busman modded one. Not sure if he can help. Did you look at the Korg MR-2000?

No experience with the Benchmark and I don't read much about it anywhere. John Atkinson did a short review of it and compared it to the Ayre.

Sounds like you may need a Horus but your wallet may not like it.

I have no problem with my tascam. I record vinyl to 24/176 and the sound is great. Something is wrong in your system. Maybe you need a break in.

The tascam is great and better than the korg.

Jwm - People I have talked to like the Korg better than the Tascam. But, to each his own.
