Quality Sound Card
I am looking to digitize some vinyl records and store them onto my computer. What is a "reasonably" priced sound card (or accessory box) that will do this?
Also, will I need anything else (other than a player and good pre-amp)? re: the sound quality level -- I am not going to use the "mp3" format - instead I expect to use Apple Lossless (which is what I've used for putting some of my CDs on the computer). The computer is a dell 8300 (XP) - obviously not the newest out there, but I assume it is plenty fast enough. I have tested some .wmf files with a small amt. of compression A/B on my system (using a Cal Audio CD Player) and could NOT hear a difference in sound quality, so I figure I should be quite safe with Apple Lossless for a storage format. The rest of the system is a Sonic Frontiers tube pre-amp, a Sunfire amp, and Maggie speakers, so I'd like to make sure the box or sound card is commensurate with that. In other words, I always try to stop just a tad short of the [B]leeding edge... Thanks for your help! |
The Creative Audigy series with the breakout box (front panel) work pretty darn good. Aux in jacks right up front for RCA input, headphone jacks, mic jacks, and optical in/out.
Pretty good cards, and not too expensive. |
