In Reply to: RE: Recording Vinyl to DSD posted by John Elison on August 19, 2014 at 23:24:53
Korg AudioGate is essentially a completely free DSD playback/editing/conversion application, but more recently, version 3.2 has traded much of its prior incarnations most useful editing functionality for a spiffier interface chiefly limited to playback....
I believe that version 2.2 is the one to search the net for, which shouldn't be too hard for a resourceful chap !

Alternatively you could make your life a heck of a lot less painful and lose nothing (some may argue a small loss or possibly an even larger gain !!)... by remaining in the high-res PCM domain, (perhaps even extending your present 96khz ceiling to 192-384khz) which will also afford you a larger range of recording/editing applications from which to select.
An excellent (and very reasonably priced) example, specifically suited to your application is AlpineSoft VinylStudio:

Which as of version 8.6 can also record to DSD:

Of course, you may find that after all is said and done better sonic results may ultimately be achieved not by virtue of the digital side of the equation, but starting at the beginning and upgrading your table/arm/cart or phono preamp !!!
Whichever route you take I'm sure it will be a lot of fun all the same, so enjoy yourself and mostly the music of course ;-)
Follow Ups:
Thank you for all the great information. I like the sound of Korg Audiogate software, but apparently I need to buy a Korg recorder to activate the software.
Thanks again,
John Elison
Indeed the application was rather useful....
There was only one requirement for using versions 2.2-2.3.3 (which were offered for free, not requiring Korg product ownership) : you were required to link a twitter account to the player. The player required that you sent a tweet when you first used it and every time you converted a file, not when routinely replaying files however.
The current version has imposed numerous limitations to its functionality, the most obvious requirement being that you need to own a relevant Korg device in order to even register it !
Versions 2.2 & 2.3.3 can still be sourced if you're curious to explore the possibilities.
The linked article may also provide some information of interest.
