| Hana ML and Korf head shell OK I ordered a p77i, and will figure out what to do with the Korf head shell when it arrives.A friend may have a LOMC nearby that can be tried with the phono stage to see if it has enough gain. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) The op asked how to get into digital. Easy USB. Maybe a USB isolator. That eliminates virtually every issue no matter what audiophiles may convince themselves of.Does this infer a NAS playing/buffering into DAC?OrDoes it also infer some CD player ... | |
