Plextor is the most popular among highest quality options, I also heard some Teacs are about the same level...
I wouldn't care about most standalone units, as A/D converter quality is usually isn't clear, using SPDIF introduces more jitter, etc. Using PC, and thus being entirely in digital data domain, burner of high quality, and a good software, one could minimize those problems, IMO.
In this community, role of DAC is usually considered important enough to pay several grands, or even more. However when the subject is not DAC, but ADC (A/D converter), many agree to go with incomparably cheaper solutions. Just curious why it happens? A/D affects reproduction quality not less than DAC... Would anyone using M-audio consider to downgrade his Theta Gen VIII to $100 DAC?
