Funny, since 2020 I joined tapeheads.net and have had all five of my Nak's refurbished. (2 480's, and 2 LX-5's and one 680ZX) Also obtained a 582Z for a friend and decided to buy someone on this board's AD2k and now use it between whichever Nak I think sounds best. (Agree with groundhog420 here, different masters sound :best" from different decks).
And, since the AD2k has digital output, I am going into a PMD 661 digit in for the bit bucketing. I also use 24/48 unless it is for someone who requests I take it off at 24/96. My reason is storage size having close to 11 TB of files now.
Hi there - Yep, I know I'm replying in an old thread - but, the topic seems appropriate, so why not?
I actually saw this thread a while back, but 2020 and 2021 had me scrambling enough as it were, so message boards were kind of a low priority for me at that time, and I missed a lot of conversation, I reckon. Was searching for something completely unrelated today, and this popped up, so I figured, what the heck?
Personally, I've been using this method:
1) cassette deck > Edirol R-09, via RCA
2) Edirol R-09 > PC, via USB
It sounds like this might be similar to the Monoprice or Tascam Dr-680 methods mentioned earlier.
I'm not familiar with those units, but it also seems like it would be about the same with just about any digital recorder, perhaps?
