No forum for vinyl conversion?

[nigelh]

Hi,

 

I just signed up here today after discovering this site during some Googling. Maybe it's a bias on my part, given what I was originally looking for, but it seems quite an omission not to have a forum here that's specifically for the whole business of converting vinyl to digital.

 

FTR, what I was specifically looking for (but can't find) is a true audiophile grade ADC unit that focusses on doing just the job I need it for, for which the specific specification would include:

 

- highest-quality AUX level analogue inputs via standard RCA type connectors

- Firewire 800 connection

- Thunderbolt connection (at least as an option, if not standard)

- maximum resolution/sampling rate of 24-bits/192 kHx (are higher capabilities yet available? I haven't seen them)

- minimalist controls (if any?)

- clean/smart aesthetic design

 

I don't want/need:

 

- phono stage/RIAA correction

- masses of unusable inputs and outputs

- front/back panels cluttered with costly and unneeded sockets, controls etc

 

I want a box that puts the emphasis on the quality of the sound, not on providing a list of functional capabilities as long as my arm, which I'll never have a use for!

 

I surely cannot be the only person that's in the market for such a product, can I?
