I have used dbpowermp aux input feature, which uses my laptops built-in SoundMAX integrated media (Analog Devices chipset) for A/D conversion. It has no bells and whistles at all. The input level, bit depth and sample rate are all you can select. I just chose standard CD 16/44.1. I was actually stunned at the quality of the transfer. It converts directly to FLAC(for me) or any format you desire. So for the price (freeware), it couldn't be beat for me. I am listening to some older LPs and cassette transfers as I write this. It is not available for the new version yet, but I still use 11.X -- which it appears you can still download from here. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/legacy-compatibility.htm -- jt25741 SB3->AR Masters Coax -> PS Audio DLIII (Cullen L3) -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio P-5 -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio W-5 -> Cardas Golden Reference Hi-Mid,PS Audio Xstream Plus Low-> Magnepan 3.6R ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jt25741's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21836 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
