Music Direct and Benchmark themselves also have trial periods.
I agree I would rather go straight to disk, but if you have a computer near by you can go direct. All you are sending is the bits, the timing is not an issue. For the price of the Tascam you can even buy a PC and then transfer to your main system over Ethernet. You could even use the PC as your music player if you do not have one already.
I'll be interested in the results you get from the Benchmark.
If you happen to be in the Boston area, you can try my Korg.
