Hi I'd like to convert a few LP's to digital... OK possibly more than a few... and not for profit, but for me. It would be nice if it would be good enough quality to use for recording in general. Lets say I'd want to experiment with minimalist type stuff and then there'd be a mixer put in front of it...

Obviously being me, I'd prefer a hi-fi like minimalist set-up etc... but I just don't think I want to spend thousands and then still have to get something that puts it into the puter... no dedicated soundcard I'm afraid... so here's the options if any of you wanted to give an opinion...

obviously I looked at this, but I then need the soundcard still:
http://beis.de/Elektronik/ADDA24QS/AD24QS.html but really like the possibility that it could be real nice... and I could upgrade the op-amps with my 4562na's
and this, probably same issue...
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/SRC2496.aspx and the raving about how good it sounds with boutique parts obviously helps, does not help that it costs R4k here and 163US$ elsewhere...
I SHOULD probably get this one... and just start playing

but maybe one of these can be like genuinely better sounding... they are pro afterall...
