USB Audio Capture Card Grabber for Vinyl Cassette Tapes to Digital MP3 Converter, Support Mac & Windows 10/8.1/8 / 7 / Vista/XP

Q: What provides a result with better sound quality -- this USB audio capture device or the tape cassette converters?

I have both. The DigitNow USB Audio Capture converter cable connected to a decent to good stereo cassette deck yields much better and clearer sound quality than the tape cassette converter that I have. The cassette tape converter produces a slightly more muted sound that's similar to but a little more suppressed than playing a cassette tape with Dolby NR activated.

Q: Can i plug my old gerrard turntable directly into this unit (i.e. into the rca jacks/plugs), or will i need a preamp to boost the line-level?

Actually the reason the highs are more prevalent directly off the vinyl is because in 1954 the Recording Industry Association of America standardized frequency response to minimize bass to allow for more information (~22 minutes) to be stored per side of the LP. The bass is therefore amplified by the amplifier with poles at 50Hz, 500Hz, and 2122Hz. For a high-end setup with a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge you would want to record at 192k samples per second at 36 bits resolution to capture (almost) everything.

Q: Does it work with macOS 10.14.6 Mojave which is 64 bit?

It does work with MacOS 10.14.16, but there are glitchy things to figure out. For example, you have to plug in the USB before your turn on Audacity, otherwise Audacity will not recognize that the USB is plugged. Also, for Audacity to have access to the internal microphone (so it can accept the incoming sound data), you have to go into Apple/System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy and toggle on the Microphone to give Audacity access to it. It took me about three hours, pouring over postings on help pages to figure all this out. It really should be in the instructions...But once you do this stuff, it works very easily. Audacity puts the recordings into its own format, then you can export them to MP3, etc.
