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!

Hi vermontstephen - I've been using a Steinberg UR22mkII for A to D conversion and Steinberg Wavelab Elements to record and process the tracks. The combo works great for me. I have a substantial collection of 78 rpms and a handful of LPs that aren't available in digital format, and this setup works great for archiving. Good luck in your journey!

I use an ADC manufactured by Schiit several years ago called the Jil.  It has been discontinued. 

I understand wanting to have access to music that is not available digitally in other rooms of the home but my own experiences with converting LPs to digital were filled with frustration.  I appreciate my analog setup because it minimizes a significant amount of the sonic artifacts that potentially can occur; however the digitizing process seems to magnify the detritus at the expense of the music.

 

   I listen to Classical, and when I was attempting to digitize many albums that sold poorly in their day and were not available digitally when I was attempting this.  Ultimately these albums were digitalized and the commercially available versions were far superior to the ones that I had painstakingly made
