Archjive LP to Hi Res Digital - Worth It?


I have been considering acquiring the hardware to archive my LP collection (1500 albums) to high res digital (24/192 or DSD)with the expectation of playing them from a HiRes music server instead of spinning the vinyl. Aside from all the complexities of putting together an acceptable solution it is obviously a significant commitment of time to rip all those LPs. I have a moderately high end table (Basis 2001/Graham 2.0/Benz H20).

I am interested in anyone who has already taken on this project and comments with respect to its value in hindsight. Do you end up playing the high res files as your preferred format? Is the quality close enough to your LP source? What advice would you have for someone considering going down this path? Thanks in advance

I gave up turntables about 15 years ago, but your proposal sounds like the future to me.

Good luck,
