Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD?

@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                                                        

I also have a DA-3000 and can vouch for its ease of use and quality of transcription.  It has two quirks you should be aware of.  First, it only supports a maximum storage medium size of 64GB on USB drives and 32GB on SD cards.  Second, you will have to manually index tracks.  The auto-index by 2 seconds of silence isn’t as reliable as you might like and can’t handle transitional tracks at all.  The index by time inserts an annoying "beep" to signal the interval and that can’t be defeated.  Note the manual index can be done after the fact or during playback via the remote.  FWIW, I usually index after the fact and use an external keyboard to input track data.

Good luck & happy listening!
