Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC

Licoricepizza, before starting upon your task you should do a quick estimate of how many years it will take you to complete it. Let's say it takes you 5 years to finish. Do you think Korg will still be making or supporting a DSD recorder five years from now? Will there be DSD decoders five years from now? My point is that archiving vinyl is a very time consuming task and you should be wary about boxing yourself into dedicated hardware/software formats.

Benchmark, Metric Halo and Apogee all make PCM based A/D converters with either USB or Firewire interfaces built in for computer connectivity. Lynx makes a number of PCI or PCe cards for connecting an outboard A/D or D/A to a computer.

Ghastly, why the need to bash a fellow audiophile? Reading between the lines I do not think the OP was looking for a SOTA archive system.

The Korg is a very impressive piece of technology, but I would caution against using it as a DSD recorder for long-term, archival, purposes. The Korg relies upon dedicated software for sample rate/format conversion. The Korg can operate as a fully functional, highly competent archival recorder as long as the company supports this software. The question is whether Korg will continue to support updates for the software over time as new CPUs and system software becomes available? Over a five year time span I don't think anybody knows the answer. You might actually be better off using the Korg as a high bit/sample rate recorder.

I'm using a five year horizon because that's what it would take to digitize 5,000 albums if you were extremely diligent.
