Best quality digital recorder??

Just retired and got hi speed digital cable service installed (does that make me a 'late' adopter? : - ) thrilled with the overwhelming choices of channels for classical and jazz and the rest. I belong to a regional library and they seem willing to provide a super selection of CD's and DVD concerts - so - I'd like to take advantage of a "great" digital recording unit as I'm fussy about sound. I still have my old Nakamichi Dragon and older unique Wollensack cassette recorders but haven't used in years and want to get the recent digital equivalent of the Dragon. As I hear new stuff on Stingray I'll order the album from library. Seems I'm going back to younger days ; - )
