<!-- #thumb --> <p>The secret to getting a perfect copy of an analog recording is found in the converter that takes in the analog and spits out the digital. *This converter is called an Analog to Digital Converter, or ADC, and is the exact opposite of what you’re no doubt familiar with a DAC or Digital to Analog Converter.</p>
<p>ADC’s are not really part of the high-end landscape yet, but they will be. *Found mostly in pro audio for recording studios, these critical devices run the gamut from cheap to ultra expensive and very few have high-end audio traits you and I might appreciate. *Of those with high end audio aspirations we would think of Ed Meitner’s fine products as well as the newly released Ayre ADC created by fellow Boulderite Charlie Hanson.</p>
<p>PS Audio will be releasing our own ADC (and built in analog phono preamplifier) in late July called the NuWave Phono Converter.</p>
<p>The reason I suggest you’ll start to see a proliferation of high-end audio ADC’s is because of the slow but steadily moving shift towards digital audio as the center of one’s system, rather than analog.</p>
<p>As most of us know there’s been a resurgence of late towards vinyl and that resurgence has even crept into the newest crop of potential Audiophiles, the 30
