recommended Analog-to-Digital convertors?

I have a friend that's trying to archive his LP collection and I have no experience in A/D converters. Presumably he would want to output RCA or balanced to a A/D converter that exports via usb or firewire. Suggestions at $500, $1K and $2.5K+ price points would be appreciated.

The apogee duet is nice little dac with a>d as well for $500, but it is mac only.

It only outputs via xlr and rca digital but the wadia 17 connected to an alesis masterlink gets me some pretty good lp recordings.

PS Audio Digital Link III $695 new, $500-$550 on Agon. Nice DAC!

Mdowns32 -- She wants an ADC (analog-to-digital converter), not a DAC (digital-to-analog converter)!

Thanks for the suggestions. Does anyone know if current Intel DuoCore processors are capable of 24/192? I remember reading somewhere that they were limited to 16/96. i.e. My friend has a MacBook Pro with an Intel DuoCore (probably 2.5MHz) so would the added information be stripped?
