Yes, there was at least one other discussion of this topic back in 2005. Very dated but there were some specific pointers to hardware and software. I just entered a plea for some updated info. The link by riley804 looks like the right one or you could try this one http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1122253045 |
Pedrillo, perfect timing for the thread. In fact i was thinking about the same past few months. I listen to many electronic/dub music and they mostly come on 12" singles with one or two tracks each side. And they do sound much better on Vinyl ( who would have thunk electronic music sounding better on Vinyl than digital). Mostly I would buy a CD versions of the Vinyl albums, but not for the 12" EPs One thought I had was buy a real good tube R to R and record directly via system Preamp mostly uncorrupted ( I am thinking but not sure) and the other look for pro digital 16/44.1 tube (?) recorder if they are still available. So I can play on my 16/44.1 digital source |
The best option at a reasonable price is the Furutech GT-40. It is a great DAC, it is an ADC, it works for headphones and it is small enough to fit on your desk to bypass your computer sound-card for decent sound. Does an awful lot for $500 !! It sounds very flat and natural. Many articles about it- Designed by ADL Alpha Design Labs for Furutech- a top audio parts name. The below link is a rep and specialty dealer who knows his stuff and really helped me with this over the phone- www.kaplanhtdesign.com/USB DAC's_PCAudio_Solutions.html#Furutech Alpha Design Labs GT40 USB DAC Jeff Kaplan is the guys name who helped me. |
