In Reply to: RE: Analogue recording is PITA... posted by kuma on October 21, 2016 at 21:58:01
My technique was to carefully set input level ideally (to just avoid clipping) and I do NO processing to the files. (I want it to sound like playing a record - why would I process it?) Results indeed are incredibly good. There are probably better A-D converters, but the Korg at DSD128 is at least very good.

I've got an editing software but the learning curve of learning how to use it effectively is too steep.
I plan to record it with a linestage in a signal chain.
I also will compare the recording with 24/96 vs. DSD to see if the gain in a file size justifies or not.
Which Korg are you using?
I buy mostly used LPs. I process my recordings with RX. It does not diminish the result. I use a very mild declick and high pass filter at 20 hz. Why listen to noise if you don't need to?
I feel the digital versions I make equal or exceed in the case of reduced noise, the originals.
I've digitized all of my vinyl using a Tascam DA-3000. Initially, it was to make copies for the car. Now I have a music server and enjoy the convenience, however sometimes I play LPs I've previously recorded. I have multiple DACs. My favorite, an Audio Note 2.1 Signature, resides in my main system. An exaSound E12 is in my headphone system. I also use an old Tascam to stream Tidal.
Have you tried using your DA-3000 as a DAC? It can be configured from the menu to act as a DAC although it doesn't have a USB DAC input. However, I think it is one of the best sounding DACs I've ever heard and I used to have a $3200 April Music Eximus DP1 . My TASCAM DA-3000 sounds just as good to me. I use an April Music Stello U3 USB-to-S/PDIF link to connect my computer's USB output to the DA-3000. I'd be curious to know how your TASCAM DA-3000's DAC compares to some of your other DACs.
Thanks,
John Elison
I've used the DA-3000 for playback but I haven't tried to compare it to the others. For me it's difficult unless it's comparing short segments within seconds of hearing that which I'm comparing to. My favorite is the Audio Note. They all sound good.
