I assume the HHB has S/PDIF out? So use it as the A/D converter, and feed the S/PDIF to a card or USB dongle on the computer. The somewhat antique Audigy 2 ZS can do bit-accurate recording (using the stock Creative drivers), though unless you want to DIY an input bracket you'll have to pay a premium for the deluxe version. I belive various M-Audio cards can capture accurately from S/PDIF.
One problem, though: the HHB most likely just does 16/44.1, since that's what traditional audio CDs are. 48k is preferable, especially if you're going to author DVD-player compatible discs. Do you have a DAT or Mindisc recorder? Those should be able to capture and pass through S/PDIF at 48k.
I've archived various cassettes (and VHS HiFi) recordings using a Behringer SRC-2496 as the A/D converter, Audigy 2 ZS with DIY Toslink input bracket, and Audacity. A couple I've authored to "audio DVD", but mostly I just burn data DVDs with FLAC versions, two copies on different brands of media, including high-res scans of any tape artwork.
