Analog to Digital

I have an analog rig with a LOMC, phono stage, and a Jungson JA-88D integrated. I would like to record from my system to a hard drive (currently iMac with 10.6.4 Snow Leopard). I don't necessarily want to store this on a Mac. A simple file server (netbook?) would be ideal.

I have a VPI TNT jr and would like to retain the audiophile sound quality. What type of ADC and software would I need.

I have read a bit about the Apogee Rosetta 200. Is this a high quality unit or do you recommend others? Could I also use an Esoteric d-05? I don't have one. However, I could acquire and use it for playback and possibly record(?).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just got the Furutech GT-40 in last night at my store and did a brief listenind session with my AKG-702s.

The GT-40 was able to drive the 702s quite nicely and offered a very detailed sound with good width and image specificity. Vocals were realistic sounding and instruments had natural timbre.

Using the GT-40 as a USB dac feeding my normal headphone amp (Vincent KHV-1pre) the sound was more detailed than the HRT music streamer II, but both USB dacs are quite enjoyable to listen to.

Best feature of the GT-40 in my opinion is the ability to record to your computer from your TT. Simply plug your TT into the GT-40's phono preamp input and run a USB cable to your computer and record your records right into your HD.

Considering the feature set of this piece, it is a great value!
