John, many thanks for your kind reply. At the moment I'm using optical discs for long term storage of vinyl rips but I' m seriously considering the Tascam approach.
Best regards.

Hi Victor,
I used optical discs (CD-Rs) for many years. About four-and-a-half years ago I ripped all my CDs and CD-Rs to USB hard drives for more permanent storage. I used Exact Audio Copy (EAC) freeware for ripping my CDs and CD-Rs, which is the first step required to move to a hi-res music streamer.
The TASCAM DA-3000 is a versatile component because it not only records PCM and DSD but also functions as an autonomous digital player as well as an external DAC. I'm very happy with my TASCAM DA-3000.
Good luck,
John Elison
Hi John,
Many thanks for your kind feedback. Currently I've got a small library of DVD-r. I've cheated a bit and am using "lossy" file formats e.g. AC-3 but still surprised at how good the results are with decent bit rates.
As someone who has run Nakamichi analogue machines (& others) since the 70s, I'm always pleasantly surprised at how favourably digitisation compares. Like yourself, I've concluded there's nothing fundamentally wrong with digital merely that it is not uncommon for *Production* to advertantly/inadvertently deliver a wrong result ;^)
Perversely and perhaps what might be considered a technical oxymoron, I still prefer the sound of vinyl even when digitised. The Tascam, with options for PCM/DSD, could only improve on the current archiving (perhaps archiving is too strong a word, more a case of items I can play without fear of corruption). Recording also prolongs the lives of increasingly expensive MC carts into the bargain. It's a win-win.
Best regards.
