RE: Thanks everyone for the useful responses

Yeah nothing is perfect. FWIW, not having to split files is a huge benefit IMHO. Maybe you have a way around that, but when I tried other methods, it was just a pain to have to split the files in Audacity. With the tascam it just does it if you set the levels right. Sure some albums are tough if they don't have silences but for the most part it just works.
And you can record off the web, like youtube and its just put in the sd card hit record then play on the computer and viola.

Also you CAN play the files back with no need of a computer and as you mention recording too needs the computer with other solutions. Also not sure if DSD is a big deal for you but the DA-3000 can record at DSD resolution.

Not sure about the SSR250n. It may be leaps and bounds better but no clue.

Also not tying in the audio system with the computer might have an improvement just because the grounding is better. And or you can do some computer work while recording and not worry about affecting the sq.

FWIW the headphone jack is pretty good on the tascam but you could always run it out to a dedicated amp. I do both myself depending. The main amp has some processing, soundstage expansion, BBE Sonic Maximizer, crossfeed bass boost. The tascam can give a direct unprocessed feed if I like.

These days the tascam is my main dac/amp for computer duties and might make it in the main system if anyone could help me use it as a DSD dac, but that seems an impossibility...
