Surely its the signal to noise ratio thats the important thing here?
I did loads of vinyl copying a few years ago using a soundcard that was more like 90db SNR, the results were still pretty good. The dynamics of the old (analogue recorded) records all came through nicely.
Im sure 2/3 output from a headphone jack would be fine, especially with a good soundcard. But the less output you use, the more noise you are likely to get. And I have never ever found I ran into headroom/distortion issues. Some old geezer recording technician told me to always use full, so thats the way ive always done it, and it seemed to work fine.
