Re: [ARSCLIST] How to digitize LPs at home ?

It should be ok as long as the DAC has noise shaping to overcome any mechanical dither at the DAC input. It really depends on the DAC itself in this case.

The only thing that would give me pause is having the D/A converter situated in the same unit as the turntable, with its motor etc. But it may be no worse than having the D/A converter in the computer tower with its fans etc. Have there been any tests of the converters in these turntables? Thanks.

The easiest solution is a turntable with digital output.
Modern DJ turntables have both S/PDIF (44.1 kHz 16 bit) and analog line
level outputs,
e.g. Stanton ST-150, Numark TTX (with S-arm), Gemini PDT-6000...

HI again,
Thanks to those that replied. I guess I'm mostly concerned with the whole
record player/preamp into computer thing. The RCA to mini cables are easy
enough but the whole preamp/no preamp thing throws me for a loop. My father
hooked up his cheap all in one unit to his computer to digitize lps and man
does it sound awful (and, like I said, I'm not picky)!!
