Product Description
Buying advice
1. Do not connect a turntable directly to your computer. The signal from a turntable must be transmitted via a phono preamp or a receiver with a "phono" input that allows phono amplification.
Otherwise, it will be too quiet and sounds "tinny" due to incorrect compensation.
2. Do not plug stereo devices into the "microphone" port of your computer. This port is typically designed for low level mono microphone input only. It will produce distortion when you connect a phone-amplified output. Use the "Line In" port if you have one (on some laptops or other portable computers, the "Mic" port can be switched to a line entry).

Meine Vorgehensweise: Erst mittels der mitgelieferten CD das Programm auf den PC laden, mit dem später auch die transformierten Daten gespeichert werden sollen.
Am Abspielgerät, welches zB die analoge Audio-Cassette abspielt, den Audio Capture mittels Klinke anschließen, das andere Ende des Audio Capture nicht in irgendeinen USB-Anschluß stecken, sondern nur in die (bei mir auf der Rückseite des PC`s befindlichen) spezielle USB-Buchse mit dem Symbol für Zusatzenergie (sieht ein bißchen aus wie eine Äskulap-Schlange beim Arztsymbol).
Jetzt auf dem analogen Abspielgerät die Musik starten und die Audacity-Datei "öffnen" (nur öffnen). Nun läuft - leider bei mir solange unhörbar - die Musik...und jetzt auf "R" beim Audacity drücken. Ab jetzt wandelt er die Daten um und die PC-Festplatte "nimmt auf".. Speichern über "Exportieren" (nicht "spieichern !!").
Die mitgelieferte CD wird nur für die erste Programmnutzung gebraucht, danach nicht mehr.
P.S.: So sind die Daten erst im "Wavesound"- Format auf dem PC. jetzt einen kostenlosen Audiokoverter (wav zu mp3) herunterladen und Daten jetzt nochmal konvertieren, dann läufts überall, im Auto, Smartphone ec...
Qualität ist überraschend verlustfrei.
Ich find`s geil, dass ich meine alten selbstgezimmerten Gitarrenriffs nun im Auto hören kann.
Update:
Ich habe eine CD abgespielt und den Lineout meiner Audioblock Anlage benutzt um ein Musikstück aufzuzeichnen. Anschließend habe ich Original und Aufzeichnung verglichen.
Sofort fiel auf: Kein Rauschen, kein Brummen. Ich habe nicht ernsthaft erwartet, daß das aufgezeichnete Signal sich mit dem Original messen kann. Die Musik verliert merklich an Präsenz und Räumlichkeit, im unteren Frequenzbereich fehlt so Einiges. Ich habe dann mithilfe eines Digitalen Equalizers den Bereich unterhalb von 1 kHz um ca. 3 dB angehoben und wieder verglichen. Die Frequenzkorrektur hat etwas gebracht, man kann wahrscheinlich mit etwas Mühe und Experimentierfreudigkeit noch ein wenig mehr herausholen. Im Endergebnis sind die Aufnahmen über den Grabber aber durchaus brauchbar. Als ich vor 20 Jahren meine Vinyls digitalisiert habe, habe ich erst einmal ein Vielfaches für einen guten Entzerrer Vorverstärker bezahlt.
Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist top. Ich würde sagen: kaufen
40 Jahre Musikgeschichte warten darauf ins digitale Zeitalter übertragen zu werden.
Als Software ist Audicity dabei. Freeware, die ziemlich gut ist. Das Pogramm ist logisch aufgebaut und lässt sich gut bedienen. Die Aufnahmen speichere ich als .flac Dateien ab.
Die Klangqualität ist selbst bei den alten Audio Tapes erstaunlich gut.
Die Hardware ist echtes plug & play. Zumahl alle nötigen Kabel vorhanden sind.
Klare Kaufempfehlung!

I'm using my 2014 MacBook Air running it's original bundled version of OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks which has almost always performed flawlessly since I've owned it from new. I downloaded the most recent version of Audacity (currently 2.2.0), the program recommended by V-TOP to use with the USB dongle. Hooking it up was very simple - my Goldring Lenco GL-75 plugged into my old Sherwood hi-fi, then hook the stereo RCA jacks up from the tape loop recording output to the VTOP USB adapter and into the right hand USB port on the Mac, open Audacity and make sure it's recording from the right source. Away you go.
Audacity is surprisingly versatile and doesn't have much of a learning curve for anyone who's used a wave editor before. Tutorials exist online for those who might struggle. For my recommedations I would say, get a decent signal from whatever your source is but allow for the dynamics and pop/crackles if you're recording vinyl. Lucky for me I get about a -9dB average which isn't too bad. Then use Audacity to do some careful click removal on the overall file if it's needed, normalise it (VERY important this, otherwise your vinyl rips are going to be very quiet indeed next to CDs or FM radio), trim the ends so there's about a second gap at the start before the music but no handling noise from putting the stylus down, and then fade in the start and fade out the end maybe, to your taste. The idea is to make these rips sound as good as possible as quickly as possible.
This explanation is a little nerdy/techy but; saving the files in terms of output quality are very much down to taste and size requirements. Personally I'm ripping 32-bit float @ 96khz and then saving out as Level 8 (Best) FLAC with 24-bit @ 96khz to retain as much of the vinyl quality and dynamic as possible. Yes the files are huge (not as bad as pure WAVs would be though), but I wouldn't see the point of doing any ripping if I were just saving the results as 128kbps MP3s. Personal preference though; for the less important records, lower quality settings/encoders would do just fine.
The sound quality for a device at this low price point is impressive. I mean, I expected a lot worse and was pleasantly surprised. I would say if you have a decent well-adjusted turntable, going through a decent phono pre-amp into this USB dongle then you're certainly going to achieve better results than buying an integrated all-in-one USB turntable like a bargain basement Ion deck which will shred up all your records while outputting inferior sound, making the whole laborious effort of realtime record ripping a little bit pointless. For under £20 this device seems like the superior buy, to me.
Overall without rambling on too much I would say this device combined with Audacity is a solid choice. Audiophiles will sneer at this I'm sure, but not everyone has thousands of pounds to spend on the best of the best, and I'll take a decent vinyl rip I've made using this over just downloading an MP3 of the same song, or the many thousands of MP3s I already have from digitizing my CD collection in 2004. Even if it is mostly just for use beaming things over to the car stereo via Bluetooth! Gotta have some of that vinyl crackle and sweeter treble...

Oggetto molto valido e subito funzionante. Lavora con il software Audacity, che già conoscevo ed usavo.
Basta settare gli ingressi di Audacity sul nuovo microfono e subito tutto a posto.
Devo ancora trovare il sistema di monitorare in cuffia quello che si sta registrando o convertendo, ma il fatto riguarda l'uso di Audacity e non dello strumento in sè.
Consigliatissimo.....con una spesa accettabile si ottiene un ottimo strumento per digitalizzare vecchie raccolte di musica, o programmi radio , o qualsiasi altra sorgente audio analogica.
