Alan and John, thank you so much for some realistic and experienced views of appropriate data rates needed for the succesful transfer of vinyl to digital. Otherwise we seem to be stuck in yet another numbers game where marketing wins over reality.
For me, I have found that 24/96 from the $300 HRT LineStreamer+ produced outstanding results and 24/192 from the $1800 PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter was not a step up. I didn't bother with DSD even though the PS Audio ADC will do it. My previous experiences with DSD told me that for my ears, 24/96 PCM is all I need. YMMV.
In fairness to the PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter on pricing, it includes a quality phono preamp and can convert to higher resolutions including DSD. With the HRT LineStreamer+ you use your existing phono preamp. In my case, I have a capable phono preamp and found that 24/96 (the best the HRT can do) was just right so I couldn't justify the price difference.
