Brio-R tape output to PC?

My Rega Brio-R amp has a "tape output." My question: can I capture that output via a PC sound card and create digital sound files? My preference would be 24/96 or higher, but the basic question is can it be done?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, with the right sound card and software.

The "Record Output" is for connection to any recordable device as its output is a "record signal" as selected by the main input selector 1 through 4. The record output is disabled when input 5 is selected. This output is not affected by the volume control.

thanks

Any suggestions as to a good PC sound card? I'm looking to create hi-res (prefer lossless) files. Also editing software, to add track divisions, etc.?

SOUND CARD

The Diamond Multimedia XS51 is a very good one.

MWAVE is currently selling it for less than $20, which is a steal.
