Thanks to Jeremy, Will, Ralf and everyone else who replied. I've tgken it all onboard. I've got a Yamaha-KX550 cassette deck which I'm happy with as the source. I have to admit I'm not convinced an entry level sound device won't be plagued by noise or other quality problems even if the converters it has are decent, but I'm yet to decide how much money I am prepared to spend :) All the best, Jordan. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
