I am looking into the best option to convert some tapes to CD - I have, in the past, been using an older Sony Cassette player for home going into my interface, then to my DAW. This has seemed to do well, but recently my Sony unit decided to suddenly pass away... that being said, am I better off just buying a new standalone unit, or going the route of one of the USB cassette players such as ION or something? Open for ideas. Thanks
