D to A Converters

Your headline "D-to-A converter" is incorrect; it should be an A-to-D converter (analog-to-digital). You can also get combo units: DA/AD converters; I have the Alpha Design Labs (ADL) Stratos DA/AD preamp. With it, you can record LPs in studio quality (PCM, 26-bit/192 kHz) via the PC’s USB output. I did this with Steely Dan’s GAUCHO. The digitized LP sounds significantly better than the original CD. And that’s the case with all digitized LPs compared to CDs or streaming albums. I don’t regret the effort of AD digitization.

@dirkbusche , you're absolutely right A to D!  I appreciate your suggestions.

@audphile1 I understand completely.  I have no plans to sell my analog set up!  But, at the same time, I'm not sure I'll add thousands of albums to my collection at this point in my life.  If friends tell me that I really should have a certain album on vinyl, I'll get it for sure.  But, in the near term, I'll probably do most of my upgrading on the digital side.  That being said, there are turntables that turn my head!

This is a good thread  @vermontstephen thank you for starting it. 
I was contemplating playing with digitizing some of my records but don’t have the time now. I’ll be researching the suggestions here. 
I also have a Teac R2R deck that needs to be restored. I was planning to record some of my vinyl onto tapes. 1) tapes sound great and 2) R2R is cool stuff. Throw something like the Analog Productions The Doors in 45 rpm onto a tape and I can listen to it in full analog without flipping a record lol

@audphile1 That is a pretty amazing coincidence.   I just pulled out my Teac reel to reel.   It used to be fully functional, but I haven’t used it in 30 years.   I was wondering if I could get away with replacing the tape heads and getting a tape head pre-amp.  (I’m not willing to spring for a Doshi, though I’m sure they are fantastic).  
 

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.  I’m sure I’ll end up with one of the A to D converters.  But I’ll continue to listen to vinyl, too.
