Quote:1. To integrate audiophile improvement into my rack of stereo gear. (Carver, and a Denon tape deck.)
2. To digitize me entire LP collection and some my Dad owns.
My PC can't do either of those.
2. should be easily possible with any prosumer soundcard and a big hard drive. Whether it would be better or worse ADC quality than the Olive is hard to say. 1. is more debatable, but if the goal is to have your entire collection of digital music available to play out of your stereo system using some remote or interface without the computer being in the same room or physically attached then, it could do that with the previously mentioned devices.
