it's stock and not modded. Sorry, but I don't have any experience with the Tascam. The HBB 850 was the other big boy on the block at the time, but it's no longer produced.It's a very powerful device if you're into tweaking your sound and/or recording your own music. I'd agree, that transferring from CD to CD can be somewhat tedious, as you must move it to the HD and then burn from there. That being said, there are times where I don't want to turn my computer on, or I'm busy using it and the Alesis is there to do the trick. Also, I can put 5.3 hours of music on it and burn later.
As for transferring vinyl to CD, it works fine. There is no level adjust, so I would run my preamp into the Alesis and just adjust the volume. It sounds fine.
As to the other guy and his crappy sounding CDs, I can't say. I've made hundreds of them and even done A/B comparisons and there is no lack of bass on my recordings. This being said, it's not a 'boutique' CDP by any stretch and people like the other guy have had them modded to good effect.
Try reading Fmak's posts here, on his mods. I really don't do the 24/96 CD24 proprietary format too often as it's only 19 min. worth and I just use it to copy discs. Also, it must be played back on the Alesis soley. The ADC and DACs are decent enough and you should try and read John Atkinson's test measurements in Stereophile from a couple of years back. He kind of raved about it. Michael Fremmer uses a modded one to record the sonic signatures of phono carts @ 24/96, so he can play them back at a later date and get some recollection, meaning the resolution is there on CD24.
Anyhow, as with anything in life, it has its quirks. Still, I'm glad I kept mine after selling off some stuff last year.
