Vinyl to DVD-A 24/96 vs. Redbook

Vegas, What hardware and software are you using to do the D to A?

Vegasears, what software and analog-to-digital equipment do you use? Thanks.

In my experience, vinyl ripped to 24bit/192kHz completely captures the original vinyl (the quality of turntable, ripper and digital playback electronics being equal).

oops, I meant A to D.

I don't know about vinyl to DVD-A, but i can tell you that vinyl to redbook CD produces a copy that is noticeably inferior to the original. Having said that, the vinyl to burned redbook disc typically still sounds superior to buying the same pre-recorded disc off the shelf.

This is one of the reasons why i've refused to duplicate my vinyl collection on CD, as i can burn the vinyl onto CD and come out both cheaper and with better results. Having said that, i simply don't know how long burned copies last as compared to store-bought versions, so we'll have to wait and see.

I would have to assume that the higher sampling frequency and bit rate would drastically improve things, especially if one were actually to achieve ( at least ) a full 20 bits worth of data. Most 24 bit machines don't actually operate at capacity due to internal losses and noise.

I do have one question about this though. How do you propose to play a burned DVD-A in a typical car stereo installation or portable radio? Sean
