But, disk space is cheap and you only do this once, so I go with 24/192. We (my wife has the ears in the family) can definitely hear a difference between 16/44 and 24/96, with a much smaller difference going to 24/192. The resulting digital playback sounds very similar to the vinyl sound, which just means that the Korg and the Hugo are very good and very neutral. The result is everything I had hoped for. Playback is through JRiver to a Chord Hugo to a Cary SLP-05, Levinson 432 and Sonus Faber Cremona. I have a similar but very different setup - A VPI Scout with a Benz Ebony TR to a Linn Linto to a Korg MR200s to Vinyl Studio on Windows. It would be great to hear back from anyone with advice of how they made out with a similar setup. It is my first time trying to record and playback hi res files from vinyl and I am hoping it's worth the time and effort.

It is a 20 TB array system and has a media server that will interface directly via usb out with a peachtree nova 220 se I recently purcgased as a means for playing back digital recordings of my albums. Once I get that setup my plan is to use Vinyl Studio to record Flac or Wav files and store them on a Synology DS1315+.

I am using a Linn lp12/itok.dynavector 20x ho to a fosgate signature phono preamp to the usbpre 2 to the mac as a signal path. It is a great quality a/d converter with usb out so it should work well as a means to get the signal from my turn table to my mac. I am a film maker and in my studio I have a sound devices USBPre 2 that I use for voice over recording on my corporate video work. I'm so glad to spot this conversation here. But I do get lazy now and again, or just in the mood to listen via the DAC. I play my vinyl more than my digital, despite the fact that my digital collection is far bigger. IMHO, I think one is better off with the analog system for the vinyl, and when you're feeling a bit digital, just play Tidal streaming at CD quality through a decent, or more than decent DAC. I would have to guess, that in order to make this worth it, you would need a very fine analogue system, an extremely fine A/D converter, and finally a very good digital front end, not to mention vinyl in exceptional condition. So, if you have a good analog front end, and then you record it as faithfully as you can, which is suspect, in the end you will no longer be using a fine analog front end, and will be using your digital rig instead. If that combo is just average or below, a digital recording will sound better. My question is, why record vinyl to digital exactly? In order to get great sound from vinyl, one needs a great playback system (cartridge, arm, table, phonostage). Jeff, I tinkered with this a while back, but I dropped the project pretty quickly.
