Default Dedicated CD recorder - worth buying or not?

I currently use my pc to copy the occasional cd borrowed from friends/ the
library - using the cd burner on my pc.
However, it's suddenly occurred to me that there must be a reason why
people invest in a dedicated digital recorder like the Sony rcd w3 (c £200
- what hi fi 5 star review..)?

So - I assume its because it produces copies that sound much better than
what I produce using my £40 cd burner at present? - or am I missing
something? Advice appreciated


If you just want to copy CDs then it will be no better than using a
computer. OTOH if you want to copy analogue sources onto CD (like vinyl for
example) then they are far superior to the average sound card in a PC.
