If you want quality transfers, I suggest using a direct box (like a Rolls Matchbox II, if they are still available) and plug the output to a high quality 2 channel interface via mic inputs. This will handle any impedance incompatibilities and provide the cleanest transfers. The tape noise then can be dealt with in your editing suite. I know that this might seem a pricey solution, but if you plan to do a lot of these transfers, it might be worth the investment. Best of luck
Not necessary if the interface has line inputs. There will be no impedance mismatch. There will be a level difference, if the interface is +4. But that really doesn't matter, you can just turn it up 11db once it's in the computer.
