Turntable recommendations for vinyl to digital music files

 The drivers however are a resource hog on Windows 10.  If I open a browser while ripping to DSD, I can get glitches (I7-12 core with 32 gig ram).
The DAC does make excellent DSD rips and the headphone amp sounds fine also.  Just wish the proprietary KORG windows drivers were less of a hog.
If I had to do it again, I would buy and external ADC like the musicians use for recording...

Respectively I've had a different experience.

I'm not having a problem with it eating up ram, the most I saw just now while recording DSD1128 was 146 MB.

I can't say for sure I've had Firefox open in the past 3 years while recording, but I've not noticed any skips.

Also on Windows 10 and 32MB ram and I7-8 core. It's running  my surveillance  software "Blue Iris" 24/7. After a reboot I have 202 processes running.

How much ram is yours using and number of processes?

I had 32gig ram in the machine so I doubt the glitches were due to a ram issue.  I think processing power or some windows sound vs. KORG driver issue, or maybe even USB bandwidth issue.
Does seem like most- or all - of these issues could be avoided when proprietary driver is not needed.

For example, this is a brand new ADC, with digital phono EQ built in, and review was awesome:

I have a KORG and it doesn't glitch, so I don't know what's going on there.

Oh I don't believe it is anything to do with vinylstudio.  I do run the I7 machine overclocked, that could be a contributing factor...
