Quality CD Recorder with Analog inputs,suggestion

I have an older Marantz CD Recorder which after making many copies is now on its last legs. I have been satisfied with the results and am now looking for a replacement machine.

I like recording live broadcasts of Artists on programs such as , Saturday Night Live, Leno, Letterman, other special broadcasts, etc.
Usually, I will copy these to DVD and then to CD.

I make CD compliations for the car and I also copy my LP's so I need a machine that can copy analog signal's to CD.

A dual well machine is not necessary.

Sound quality is important . I have seen reference to CDR recorders like Tascam RA DV 1000, Marantz CDR 631 and Denon 550 R.
Is there opinions of these units or any other suggestions?

Note: Home computer copying is not preferred due to placement of the equipment.

Is the Alesis Masterlink just a hard drive recorder, or can it record directly to a disc?

Thanks , some very good suggestions.
Qestion. Can the 96 Hz,24 bit CDR recording be played on a DVD Audio player or just the Alesis Masterlink?

Cleo99, I have a Denon DVD, a 5910 and a 3910 modified by APL. I play CDR is them all the time.
So, will the recorded CDR's from the Alesis play in the DVD with 24/96 playback?

Alesis/ Tascam.

I am still very much confused.

#1 Question. Alesis Masterlink ML 9600

Based on the website,the Alesis Hi-Rez recordings can only be played back on the Alesis, no other player, DVD, DVD-A will play those discs, is that correct?

#2 Question. Tascam RA 1000
From the website.
"The new TASCAM DV-RA1000 recorder is a professional solution for recording high-resolution audio - up to 192kHz/24-bit - to inexpensive DVD media."

The website makes it sound as if these Hi-Rez recorded discs can be played back on other DVD players.
So, will the Tascam create Hi- Rez Discs that can be played back on other DVD-A or SACD machines, or just any DVD player?

#3 Twist on same question #2
Will those recordings that were made on the Tascam and played back on a DVD, DVD-A or SACD Player be in High Rez?

These questions seem like they should be simple for people that are supposed to be the Technical support to answer, yet neither company could answer the questions.

Perhaps I am expecting too much, but it would be great to record my band in Hi-Rez , store the recordings in Hi-Rez and play it back in Hi-Rez on other machines.

Finally getting back to this thread. I just ordered a Tascam CDRW 900 SL new at a very good price on the internet.
Since I ordered it site unseen with very little info on the web...

Can anyone verify that this machine will:

1. Record with any type of blank CDR's and will not require Special Music CDR's ?

2. Will automatically insert tracks when copying CD's ?
