Hey guys,
I have been thinking about getting a Vinyl player for years now, but never made the purchase.
Been using a Antelope Zodiac DAC which does not have the Turntable/Phono input unlike the Plus/Gold versions. (All discontinued now though)
I very much regret not having spend a little bit more 5ish years back.
After googling for ages I have noticed some people are using USB turntables with the intent of digitalizing their record collection,
however, I have not really seen anyone talking about/asking specific questions about using the computer for the simple reason of playback.
I don't have any intent of digitalizing LP's and playing them through the computer.
I would highly prefer realtime playback.
I bet there are some setbacks quality-wise.
When I look at a turntable like Audio Technica LP-120-USB, which has a integrated phonoamp, what are my options,
would I be able to have realtime playback with this player and how would the quality be depending on soundcard or the phonoamp if it indeed was possible?
How big of a part in quality is the integrated phono preamp?
TLDR: Vinyl Player to computer, how to have realtime playback and what is depending on the quality?
Thanks,
Sven
