Recommendations for a Analog to Digital Converter


Currently have more time then budget but want to look at moving some of my best Vinyl to Digital. Preferably 24/96 format. Any suggestions on what I should look at and if any of these are available used on Audiogon?

Thanks!

An alternative you might want to consider to purchasing a stand-alone audiophile-oriented ADC is to purchase a professional digital recorder that records to flash memory cards. You would then transfer the digitized files to whatever computer or other device you would use for playback. Such devices are made by, among others, Tascam, Marantz Pro, and at higher price points Sound Devices and Nagra. B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com) carries many such products.

Hgeifman -- note that he is looking for an A/D converter, not a D/A converter.

Peter, no, I suspect that what you've read was a misinterpretation of the specs on page 31 of the manual. The person writing those statements probably didn't notice that the recording time specs are **per gigaByte**, and the DA-3000 can utilize SDHC cards up to 32 gB, or Compact Flash cards up to 64 gB. (It can also use USB flash drives up to 64 gB, but only for playback).
