Audiophile grade analog to digital converter

Everything dCS seams to be DSD, which won't work. I'm looking at these things and considering their use for vinyl transfer.

But I think I have to agree with Shadorne, and the CEDAR ADA is the best unit to use.

The Lynx is a popular sound card. There is also the EMU-0404 style input box.

For LPs, I designed "The Ripper". Matches an audiophile phono section to a 16-bit ADC. Everything you need (except for a PC and turntable) to rip your own CDs.

I've been researching similar systems for vinyl archiving and transfer. Two hard-disk recorder products come to mind: the Tascam DV-RA1000HD and the Alesis Masterlink ML-9600. The Tascam recorder will support up to 24-bit resolution at sampling rates as high as 192 kHz (DSD or PCM). The Masterlink can handle up to 24/96, but seems most suitable for Redbook CD. Both units seem like excellent value for the money; the Tascam has a street price of $2K and the Masterlink can be gotten for just under $800.

Dear Dnewhous : I'm using the Lynx sound card ( I have two of them ) that could works up to 24/192.

It is a very good performer about: hard to beat. The Lynx sound cards, in my humble opinion, were ( for some time ) the standard reference in the industry.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Lynx = excellent. But there's a hitch. CEDAR now offers a set of software tools, which at $4000 (seams to be the price) are a bargain for CEDAR. If you're going to use digital noise filtering, use CEDAR or not at all.
The CEDAR tools only work with Pro Tools, and fortunately there is a low cost version, Prot Tools M-powered at $300, that works with M-Audio soundcards. M-Audio cards are too cheap themselves to be usable as anything other than an interface.
If it weren't for all that, Lynx would be the obvious choice.
