I am looking for advice/recommendation on a very high quality AD converter for a line level analog stereo source into a computer.  I'm not so concerned about cost, but I don't want to waste money on a ton of features I don't need.  I don't have a studio, or many instruments.  I simply want the ability to have a transparent AD conversion from an analog source into a 192kHz 24 bit recording on my hard drive.
 
As far as I can tell, the best quality A/D converter is the Metric Halo ULN-8, which has much more functionality than I will need.  Is there anything out there that is of comperable quality, but is a bit lighter on the complexity?
 
I would like to "purchase once, record-once", rather than buy a $300-900 ADC and then have to buy another one when I'm not happy with it.  I have a ton of analog recordings (tape and vinyl) that need archiving, and I plan to spend many, many hours making recordings.  Thus, I do not want to have many 'takes', when it comes to the actual recording (at 1X speed).  The computer hardware, software and post-processing I have covered.
 
Any advice out there from the sampling or recording experts?
