Which Analog to Digital converter

Too bad that you, me and we didn’t grab a Schitt Jil during their too short production run. Even with high quality digital you still need a USB interface to capture to files on an editing computer.
This is practically the only game in town, from Reverb or B&H. Or throw Bezos an extra $20, he needs it.

I suspect better SQ converting to SPDIF first but the U24 XL does it all.

Another option is a standalone digital recorder that records to a memory card or USB stick. This method eliminates a lot of computer interfacing issues that audio interfaces can have.

nighthawk: Could you suggest a few? I've never seen such a thing

The Tascam DA-3000 is a example of a digital recorder that nighthawk is talking about.  It's roughly $899, which is cheaper than the RME.  However, most people that have compared them really like the RME ADI-2 Pro better for sound quality.  With the RME, you only need the $49 VinylStudio Pro software to do everything (and a USB port on the computer).  With the Tascam digital recorder you still need a memory card that is large enough to record the length of music you need and also a memory card reader for your computer (which also connects via USB).  I suppose it all depends on your budget threshold.  I would go for the RME.

That used RME on ebay is gone, but there are several "non pro" versions available, some under $1k.  The "RME ADI-2" which doesn't have that special small LCD screen on the front (it's a step down, but still good.

Additionally, I really don't think you will have the "computer interfacing" issues that nighthawk is talking about.

Another benefit of the RME is that many have rated this as a quite excellent DAC as well, so you will have a really nice DAC to playback anything on your computer to computer speakers or studio monitors of your choice.

As far as fuzztone's promoting the Muffin device.  It is a DSP based phono preamp which makes it very easy to do adjustments and special eq for turntables.  You can get it with S/PDIF output, but then you still need a pro audio interface that has a S/PDIF input so that you can record that music.

I have the Tascam DA-3000 and really like it. Works pretty much like an old school tape deck. Still need to use a computer to add cover art to the files, if you wish. My 24/192 files from vinyl are fantastic. I enjoy them much more than the files available through Qobuz and Tidal.
