The quality of the preamp, as well as the converter, is of more importance than whether it is DSD, 24/96 or tape. What you store the data on is secondary. I use a Grace Design, Oade modified, Lunatec V3 into a bit bucket run at 24/96.
Best recording
What is the best way to record and archive vinyl music? Here are my choices:
1 Korg Mr1, DSD recording
2 Studer Revox A77 modified, analog recording
3 Creative Audigy, pcm 24/96 recording
4 Sony DAT DTC-ZE700 (Dat recorder with super bit mapping, 20/48)
5 Ordinary CD
6 ;mp3
(I havent really a-b-tested the all-analog Revox to digital sources, just my impression).
