The single best way would be to purchase a Nagra DII. I know of a few on the used market but they are a pretty penny ($10-15k used). The quality of PC results, as with any digital storage, will be as much based upon the quality of the A/D convertor as anything. There are several professional digital workstations out there (the most common of which is ProTools... but its quality leaves a lot to be desired even though it is the industry standard) but it won't be nearly as user friendly as the Alesis. If you aren't looking to spend the kind of money on the Nagra, it would be hard to beat the Alesis.
Alesis ML-9600 to archive my LP's in HI-RES CD24
I own a meitner DCC2 96/24 DAC and wish to archive my vinyl collection for replay thru this hi quality DAC.
I have recently re-read Michael Fremers June 2002 stereophile review of this unit where he uses it to archive LP'S and the sound of various phono equipment .. cartridges, arms, phono stages etc...
My thinking is, if it can archive this level of subtlety then surely it is good enough to archive LP's ?
a. Has anyone experience in archiving LP's this way.
b. Does any one know of a better way that would achieve
a comparable or better result?
c. Does any one know of a PC / Softare package that
achieves a comparable or better result?
