Recommendations for digital recording device?

It strikes me that I would like to record from my preamp, which has tape loop inputs and outputs, but I have no idea what device I could use to do that. I’m not going back to tape, lol. 
 

Are there any high quality rack based recorders to do what I want? I’d like a relatively simple interface. I don’t want to break the bank.

I ordered the Denon DN-900R and will report on how it goes. 

The units appears to be sold out at a lot of places so I preordered with Sweetwater.

No, just taping radio broadcasts from FM.

Why would you even do this when there’s CD or hi-res library of content through streaming.  Have you not heard of streaming?   You wanna spend $$$ on a recording device for FM?  Really???  I feel like we’re going back 20 years in time here and can’t fathom why anyone would wanna do this.  Scratching my head here.

I stream lossless from both Tidal and Qobuz under Roon to an Aqua Formula DAC, so I am well acquainted with streaming. I pay about $50 a month and am impressed with the quality. 

Still, streaming does not replace good FM broadcasts. The idea is that someone who knows more than I do introduces me to new music. I don't always want to be the DJ. 

With a recording device, I can record programs from my local FM stations that I would miss because I am asleep. I will also be able to record from a large number of radio stations that stream under Roon.

I have an excellent tuner, the Accuphase T-1000, reviewed here:

Its digital output into my Formula DAC is stunning, the best FM I have ever heard.
