In the days of analog recording, some brands offered better performance than others. Quite frankly, Tascam and Marantz are pretty close to each other. For digital recording, it either works or it doesn't.
The brand differences will be the extra features offered. For analog recording, although Marantz is perfectly acceptable, I'd have a slight preference for Tascam. For CD recording, it really just doesn't matter.
