RE: How low can you sink?

The better SRCs have a bunch of parameters that control how the conversion is done. I doubt this will be useful if you don't have the ability to accurately monitor the results.

If you friend "needs" 48/24 then he doesn't "need" top rate sound. I'd give him both 96/24 and 48/24 just in case. Let him throw away the higher resolution if he doesn't want it. However, this seems rather foolish when you consider that the cost in time (at the minimum wage) to do a vinyl transfer is 100 times more costly than the cost of storage to hold what was actually transferred.

There is a solid reason for preserving the original transfer. Should the desire arise later to do any post transfer processing, results will be better if the higher sampling rate is used. For example, the smear from vinyl ticks and pops will be less, making it easier to recognize these events and making it easier to do surgical removal.
