Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD?

   I've had a similar concern, such as, "what to do with 160 Duke Ellington lp's"?  I suspect that you are underestimating the personal cost to digitize a significant # of lp's.  Factor in, e.g., a top a\d converter, wear on expensive stylus, cleaning lp's, and especially Your Time - life is too short.   

     If you don't want to pay attention to advice from the likes of @mikelavigne and @ghdprentice - why even ask?

@OP PS - Update on my earlier post. The RME ADI-2-Pro FSm specifically, will record both PCM and DSD, so you can compare both encoding schemes.

Thank you for the Saint-Saens reference ... glorious. 

I purchased a Tascam DA-3000 and never looked back. Very easy & very flexible as far as options. ONLY thing it does not work with 11.2 dsd but regardless I used 5.6 and works amazing

@snowdog57 thanks, there's a germ of an idea there. I'd prefer to do native DSD
conversion but I would consider doing PGGB DSD up-sampling if the source files were HiRes. The Art USB Phono Plus is limited to 48/16, I'll look around for options that do 192/24 A-D conversion with RIAA equalization

@philgo01 There's an application called Music Media Helper which I normally use
to extract and tag audio from blue ray audio discs, easy enough to use it to tag PCM files before PGGB up sampling (which retains the tags).  

Native DSD is recommending a program called Tag and Rename
