@tketcham ... I tried it once, but my only option for 192/24 playback is via the USB input of my Oppo BDP-93. It worked, and sound came out. 😉 My DAC, a highly modified Beresford, tops out at 96/24. I make my needle drops at that resolution, in Flac.
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
I have watched some videos about the necessary hardware & software. And I have manipulated digital files such as conversion Flac to Alac (for Ipod) & download, etc. I have a lot of Flac & Alac files already. So, I have plenty of computer & vinyl experience. Transferred many to cassette too. But none to digital.
I know I need Audacity and supposedly it is free.
I have a very good TT, Cart and phono pre. I have a laptop Win 7
Do I need a USB Audio Interface? Or can I go with my JLTi preamp to the 1/8 input jack on computer? Which will give best sound quality? Or does that matter to the 1's & 0's?
This USB Audio Interface has a phono preamp too, which quality may be sorely lacking. And considering I have a LOMC cart, maybe inappropriate for the job. Any suggestions? Didn't know whether to post in vinyl or digital.

Or, for something completely different, skip the computer, and look at a Sugarcube from Sweetvinyl. I have been a beta tester of the SC-2, now an SC-2+, and I am making pristine needle drops in hi-res for my server and portable file player. Easy-peezy. www.sweetvinyl.com |
@o_holter I won't live enough to re-digitize my vinyl! I can't argue with you, higher res is always better, but I am thrilled with my 96/24 needle drops. The Sugarcube tops out at 192/24, but my older DAC maxes out at 96/24 (I know, I deserve a trip to the punishment room). Prior to the Sugarcube, I was using a Marantz pro-sumer CD recorder with Red Book resolution. Not great, but I got fairly good results, to my ears. |
