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.

CD24's are not playable on my universal players.
These are actually cd-roms which contain aiff data
files ( 16/20/24 bit 44/48/88/96 khz ). You can
play them on the Masterlink or computer/daw, but they
are not set up file structure wise to be played as
DVD's.

I have taken the CD24 files and then "Authored" them
with menus and pictures to DVD on my computer but then
again you will need "authoring" software to make them
DVD ( video or audio ) complient.

I could be mistaken but they don't play on my players
which do support DVD-A and V.

The TASCAM puts you in the same boat I believe.
It makes DSDIFF files which can be read by DVD-ROM
drive ( as in your computer or Digital Audio Workstation).
You have to play those DVD+rw on this machine.

Here are two links to reviews. I know we all want to
be able to record our own DVD-Audio's, SACD's ... but
"they" ain't gonna make it easy for us.
