Best for recording records?

What is best now for recording records to save to hard disk and play back with a great dac?  Is it Korg or PS Audio NuWave?  I would not use the PS Audio as phono amp, only to record as I think Fremer is right it sounds not good as a phono amp.  Korg is a pain cause you don't record to computer, you record to it then you transfer to computer.  2 steps.  PS audio goes right to computer.  But what is best for SOUND QUALITY?  Either 24/192 or DSD 2x.

I use an E-MU 0404 USB ADC. It's fairly inexpensive (~$200), but good quality and supports up to 192kHz/24bit.

I connect my phono stage to the 0404 , and then run USB into my laptop.

Here's a review.

Sorry I'm asking this just out of curiosity. Do you folks record your LPs because they are not available through Tidal or other (digital) streaming services or they actually sound better this way even after all the post processing? Thanks.
