D to A Converters


I'm interested in digitizing some of my vinyl.  What are people using to make a high quality digital file?  What are you using as a Analog to digital converter?

Thanks!

With respect, I think you're trying to put your left hand in your right pocket.  The superior solution would be to download DSD files of the music.  Nest best solution would be don't spend money on conversion gear but rather get a hi rez streaming sservice like Tidal or Qobuz.  

Is it just to play around and experiment or you’re looking for high quality conversation?

McIntosh MP100 phono stage includes USB out at 96/24. 
You can also get A to D (not D to A) from amazon. Or on the higher end Tascam USB interface A to D. 

Personally though I think it’s cool to play with but is ultimately a waste of time. Just stream in high res for streaming services or buy a CD or a file. Listen to vinyl to enjoy analog. 

If you are doing this for fun and something to do. Well, converting (A to D) is just as frought with difficulties as is D to A. Additionally you will be capturing surface noise and adding it to artifacts. So, don't expect top notch sound quality. 

If this is not for fun. Get a Qobuz subscription and upgrade your DAC and streamer until it exceeds the sound quality of your vinyl. And to boot you will have access to millions of other albums for only $14 / month.
