Ok, just curious if this will do the deed (tascam DA-20>PC).  

Any thoughts are well appreciated, thanks!

LOL...

Sometimes i feel like my head is going to explode...so many choices!  I read up on the other thread regarding bit perfect soundcards and saw the aopen card get mentioned:  http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=29-117-107&catalog=57&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1&section=3

Will this sucker handle DAT AND MD conversions via the digital realm?  I have a Sony MZR50 portable unit that has a line out (i'm assuming its optical).

Ah yes, it wouldnt matter what Atrac it used for recording, any MD unit can playback Type R recordings.  

By the way, i'm currently looking at the MiaMIDI card on sonicsense, looks like it'll do the job.

To get an MZ-1 strictly for transferring purposes, is basically useless in my opinion. Even if you find a mint one on ebay, you'll still end up paying about the same as you would for a big home deck that is more recent. Also the MZ-1 had recording time of 60 minutes on rechargeable battery that was specific to the recorder - pretty much useless in the field.

Some other MD portables that had optical out, were the Sharp MD-M11 and MD-M25, and I think Aiwa made one too. They all had longer battery lives than the MZ-1 but are probably much more rare.
