Glad to hear you like your TASCAM DA-3000. You should try recording an LP in DSD(128) just for fun and see if you think it is any better than 24/192. Of course, I suppose I should probably try making a recording at 24/192 because I've never done that. I used to copy LPs at 24/96 with my Alesis Masterlink, but when I switched to the TASCAM DA-3000 I just went right to its highest resolution capability and never looked back. I've got over 35 LPs recorded in DSD(128) so far.
Happy New Year!

John, I did try a couple, but the file sizes were so large, and it took so much time to process that I set it aside early on.
I've found 24/192 to be the best combination of quality and file size for me, though the files are still huge. An album at 24/192 consumes between 2.5 and 3 gig. Storing, saving, copying and processing are all issues. I keep a copy of the raw file, as well as the WAV-based file split into tracks. Then, I have the FLAC version needed to play on my laptop and portable units (Sony A17 and Pono player), as they are limited to 128 - 196 gig. Memory is cheap, but that's still a LOT of memory.
I use TASCAMs HiRes Editor to process the files. With DSD, it would take minutes to open files, and minutes to export. And more minutes to copy. As I turned 60 this year, I'm not sure I have enough time left to deal with DSD, LoL. 2TB hard drives fill QUICKLY. And my 1TB drive on my laptop is already bumping at it's limits.
I've recently bought a Chord Mojo, which processes DSD, for my desktop listening, so that may prompt me to re-do certain of my favorites in DSD in the future.
In any event, Happy New Year to you and yours, and again, MANY thanks.
Why do you save the raw recordings? That's a waste of memory. I save only the mastered recordings, but I save multiple copies on different drives for protection against a drive going bad.
Happy New Year!
