It really depends on the CD recorder/burner.
I have an inferior CD burner and a Professional CD Recorder.
Which one do you think I prefer?
Also, The CD recorder is with my Audio Equipment, my computer is on the upper level.
CD recorder can accept toslink, Coax, Balanced, single ended has digital and Analog volumne control and VU Meters.
And makes fantastic recordings.
My computer is a drop and drag...more drag.Good for recording off of the internet if you like that sort of thing
