Surprised to find no mention of this unit in the Pro forum.
Am thinking of getting one to rip vinyl. Anyone had experience with it?
Benchmark ADC1
Follow Ups:
A friend of mine uses one for live recordings (with the aid of mic preamps) and considers it the second-best sounding and the most convinient, adc in his collection. It is very transparent, easy to use, and reliable. (The "best" sounding one was much more expensive and a bit tweaky to use in the field.)
If you can do live, the dynamics on a record are a piece of cake. I use the Lynx Two B to digitise my albums and his Benchmark is better in the preservation of acustic space.
The glass is neither half-empty nor half-full; it is too large.
Thx
What sampling-rate/bit-depth are you using? Been doing some research on using 192/24 -- some say it's a complete waste of space and processor time; others say it helps by working as a bandpass filter (some even using 384KHz sampling).
I do mine at 24/96. I hear no advantage above that on the Lynx card. Some folk (me among them) hold that running anything up at its maximum usually results in poorer performance. 192 is the max for the Lynx card. It just sounds more at ease, for me, at 24/96. YMMV of course.
I built a unit for a friend that has the top of the line SME table and arm with the Halcro phono stage...at 24/96 recording...it is damned close to the raw phono stage. Close enough that the difference bothers him not at all.
