Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD?


Wondering if anyone has gone the route of converting vinyl to 256 DSD and if so what A-D converter and software they used? I'd like to do this with my Direct to Disc, old RCA and Mercury recordings as a backup solution.

I think recording to PCM is a better option as I suspect the boxes that say they record DSD  actually start with PCM and convert.. maybe I'm wrong

You can use software to convert PCM to DSD or do it on the fly with HQPlayer

Pure Vinyl is (was?) a great program but they haven't updated in quite a while and you need an older MAC to use it  https://www.channld.com/purevinyl/

As previously mentioned, it will require quite a commitment as you have to do it in real time i.e. you have to play the record, tend to starting stopping each side, deal with the files , wear out your stylus etc. 

 

good luck
