Blow the cobwebs off your records one last time...

You've searched every CD bin in every music store known to man, scoured the darkest corners of the internet, and still can't find that elusive digital recording of your favourite LP.

Frustrated at not being able to take your record collection with you on your daily jog in the park? Besides having enough music to last 1000 jogs in the park, you'd look pretty daft dragging crate-loads of vinyl behind you.

Whether you're after a digital version of a favourite LP, mobilising your record collection with your iPod or other MP3 player, or simply would like to digitally preserve your entire library of vinyl for eternity; the digital to analogue converter (DAC) module for the éloquence 150i and éloquence 250i integrated amplifiers makes digitising your vinyl a painless process, while providing CD-quality recording.

A little-known feature of the éloquence DAC is the ability to record to your computer via USB, allowing digital recording of any selected input and supporting sample rates up to 48kHz with a maximum word length of 16-bits - ideal for transferring your precious vinyl collection to digital, or recording a radio show that you would like to listen to again or share with friends.

We touch-on digital recording via USB in the éloquence DAC owners manual – although, can you believe we omitted any instructions on how to setup the computer, not to mention the process of recording your source material.

So here's a brief how-to to get you transferring your vinyl to digital, with éloquence (http://www.perreaux.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/7/21/vinyl-to-digital-with-eloquence).
