how to increase volume from tape deck?


I need to archive some cassette recordings onto cd or dvd. Some of the tapes are great perfomances but imperfect bootlegs, and were under-recorded, have insufficient output, even with Nak Dragon output vol at max. Using an M-audio delta 1010 a/d converter and software mixer which has no gain. What is the best way (within somewhat sane cost limits), to increase the signal into the d/a converter and mixer? use a preamp but use the output and set the volume control (rather than tape outputs which have no gain)? Or perhaps, line transformers (e.g., Altec Peerless 15095)? or an inexpensive mixer? thanks in advance.
