Dear Friend,
I have Maratz DR-6000 digital CD-R, CD-RW recorder. It has both optical and coaxial in/out. BUT my idea is that you'd better not to change your tapes to CDs. 'coz you'll have extra noise on them. 'coz the quality of tape was not the same of the CDs' or DVDs'. Changing the record level to 3 or 4 or whatsoever will make extra noises like phessse that you were not expecting. If you're that much willing to do that you've to use the analogue source not the digital ones. From your deck to amp and then to the digital recorder.
P.S.: The noise is been added to the recorded CD because of the Dolby B,C,S, or HX pro that were been using at that time.
My advice is to find the original CDs though second hand. I've your problem too. I can't find the best of the '80's, they’re out of print or are been selling in the market for don't know how much that will cost you an arm and a leg.
