@Ralph - I do not seem to have a good handle on USB. I do understand what "asynchronous" means (I am into similar kind of data movement software but for enterprise applications) but what bothers me is even Steve Nugent says higher end USB cables might change the sound of his Off-Ramp. I am not sure I want to throw high-priced band-aids into a interface that was not meant to be used in such time/jitter critical manner. (I am going to try HDMI) Re: analog/LP and 24bit/96Khz - I have listened to MMF-5 turntable and Monolithic Sound Phone Pre through my digital amps without any noticeable "digital artefacts" as the analog purists shout about. I have done good research that is telling me that it is actually the digital mixing/effects that is messing up the recording and making it sound "digital". In your case, you can record your vinyl to 24bit/96Khz once and then conveniently play it whenever you want (some of my friends are doing this and have listened to their rips). For digital 44.1khz is good enough theoretically (per Nyquist theorem). 24bit will reduce quantization errors (but some will tell you even 16bit has more resolution than the groove depths in an LP).
