Digital Recording of LPs: DSD or PCM

Typically, the volume controlled preamp main out will provide you with better sound. But try the REC out and adjust input volume on the DA-3000 and see what sounds best.

The second may be better on a practical basis as you can monitor the source output through your main speakers, changing the listening volume if you choose to do so. If you use the second set of main outs you may forget, change the volume, and mess up your recording.
