Converting tapes to digital

Have lots of tapes I'd like to convert to digital files without too much hassle. My system is all analog- ARC D-90 tube amp and SP-12 pre, plus nice old Akai cassette deck, and a decent CD player. Mostly play digital files now from my PC through a Music Bridge which works very well and with great sound.

What equipment would best allow me to transfer cassettes to flac/wmv/mp3 etc?

Very helpful to get the A-to-D conversion OUT of the computer box. Much of the RF noise that you'd otherwise spend time trying to edit out, can simply be avoided in the first place.

I suggest one of the USB audio interfaces from M-Audio, or Presonus's Inspire-1394.
