A/D recording suggestions and tips anyone?

I plan to transfer some of my LP's to disc simply to hear the music and save the wear on the vinyl. I'm wondering about recorders, A/D converters, burners, cheapest way to do it, best way to do it, pitfalls and possible mod's to my turntable that might be required. I'd also like to know if there is a way to encode it for HDCD aside from the Euphonix Model 2 studio type processor that I'd guess sells for 50k.

Does anyone know of software that will convert a 24/96 wav file to DVD-A?

Depending on how far into this you'd like to go, I think it would be much more fun in today's world to record to dvd, with at least 96k/24b output. There is some assumption of video with dvd also, but , hey, it might be interesting to see what you can do. This link is worth checking. You'd also need dvd encoding software, like the DVDIt product from Sonic Solutions, and a DVD-r burner.

How about trying the ART Di/O? It has a A/D section? Available at fullcompass.com for $122 plus shipping.

Great advise. Other options are:

1)Sony's Cdr33 or 66: both have sbm encoding and is an
affordable alternative to spending big bucks.

2)Alessis Master link: This can record red book cd's as well as 16/20, 16/24 and 96/24. However, in order to do so use must use their machine. It used standard CD's as its source for data storage and is thus proprietary.

There's quite a few smart guys on here. I'll look into each and every suggestion. I'm in no big fat hurry as I've got to rebuild and hot-rod my TD125MK2 first. I've yet to find a web site specific to this turntable. Hard to believe considering its past popularity. Side Note. Got a call from the Euphonix rep about his Model 2 studio A/HDCD processor that does everything but chill your beer. 15k NIB...I was guessing much, much more considering everything you can do with it. Oh well, maybe for Christmas....thanks again.
