Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ?

Tascam DA 3000 24/192 Recorder.

I have ordered a Tascam DA-3000. This recorder copies to PCM (up to 24/192) and DSD to Compact Flash and SD cards.
It also has a USB but it is mainly for playback but the description also says it can copy from the flash cards.

I will be taking the analog signal(that we listen to)from my SACD/DVD-A/Blu Ray player and record that onto a SD card in 24/192.
Then I will copy that into my external hard drive for playback through the Bryston BDP-2.

But, I'm not sure this will all work as I want it.

I have several hundred SACD, DVD-A,and Blu Rays,do you think the end result will be similar to the HD Downloads?
Tascam dealers are useless with this question.

Anyone with any experience with this recorder would be extremely helpful.

Onhwy61, Dtc, Thank you for your help and comments.

What I am planning on doing is to play the SACD/DVD-A/Blu Ray on my players song by song pressing the record button when the next song starts to add the track seperations manually. These songs will be recorded by using the analog outputs from the players. Then, I will take that now recorded digitally 24/192 CF or SD card out and transfer that digital copy to my external hardrive.
With my computer I will type in the Album name and songs.

I know, I know, it will be a long process and I may eventually look into doing something more techno to abbreviate the process.

But, as I stated earlier, I'm not very computer savy.

Ozzy, it would be far, far easier and probably more accurate to split the songs using recording software. There are any number of programs and they are easy to use.

It looks like the Tascam does have an auto detect/break track feature. As long as the source disks have well defined tracks that should help a lot depending on how well it works.

If you have a computer with a DVD or Blu Ray drive, I would at least take a look at DVD Audio Extractor. It has a free trial version and has the potential to save you a lot of time for DVD-A and Blu Ray. The ripping is much faster than digitizing the audio and the splitting and tagging is automatic. I understand your apprehension, but a few hours trying may save a lot of time in the long run if you have a lot of DVD-A or Blu Rays.

Good luck.

Good luck.
