Hey,
I will be transferring many cassettes to my hard drive soon.
I have a 2 head Nak deck, I've borrowed my buddy's UA-5 and I have the Audiophile 2496 soundcard installed in my PC.
In the past I ran Nak > RCA > UA-5 > USB > CEP 2.0. That seemed to work ok.
I am wondering if there are any advantages or disadvantages to run
1. Nak > RCA > Audiophile > CEP
or
2. Nak > RCA > UA-5 > coax > Audiophile > CEP
I'm open to all ideas/opinions/etc.
Thanks.

I think the UA-5 is your best bet, in this situation. It's better to do the A/D conversion outside of your computer, because computers are noisy, so I would not go analog RCA into the Audiophile soundcard.
now, for the UA-5, if you go USB to your computer, or digi coax into your soundcard, in theory, either way would be identical. so do what ever's easiest...

Thanks Jason, makes sense.
