Hi, I record my MD into a Roland VS-2480 HDD DAW all the time. 
Individual outs and the stereo masters. No noise worth discussing 
compared to the audio signal. The only time I notice noise from the MD 
is when my overall track level is way down on the MD and the Volume 
parameter is also down on the track in question and possibly some 
filtering means I have to increase the pre-amp gain on the DAW to a 
silly level to get a good recorded signal. Once I hear the noise - I  
adust the headroom/gainstructure of the MD track that seems noisy to 
more usable levels and I can then re-set the pre-amp gain back to line 
level. In every case this results in a no-noise recording.
