Vinyl to DVD-A 24/96 vs. Redbook

I am using a Power Mac G5 with no outboard hardware other than tt and phono stage. The program is Toast and Jam 6. Recording is a pain. I have to take my TT and phono stage into another room and plug in into the computer. The software is programmable by minutes. You end up with two files, side one and two. I could separate the songs into separate files but I’m lazy. After album is ripped I can filter out the pops and stuff but I think it degrades the quality. I have an Esoteric DV-50 in my main system for playback. I write the files to CDR's for the car.

If you happen to see any of the treads I answer it appears like I’m forever praising Mac’s. Recording DVD-A is just one of the many reasons I love the product.

Vegasears,
Do you know if the Esoteric DV-50 is capable of outputting a 24/192 digital signal? As I mentioned in an earlier post, I don't want to use the internal DAC of the DVD-A player that is reading the disc.

Don't have a clue, sorry. I don't even know where the munual is or what to look for.

Vegasears, do you know what analog to digital hardware is in the Mac that produces such excellent results? Just curious.

Don't know how it does it, It just does. Below is a link to apples spec page for the g-5.
