I found this on the web and am wondering if anyone has heard one. It is an amazing nearly all in one box that has USB, analog, optical and phono inputs, usb, analog, optical and rca outs. Built in phono stage for both mm and mc cartridges, a headphone amp 24/96 output and sells for between $450 and $500. Branded either Furutech or ADL. That's a lot of box for $500!!

    Anyone ever try the phono stage in this? I can't imagine it's that good, but might be a good backup...

    Bumping this -

    I just bought one to serve as a DAC and the Phono for my new Integrated amp. I read a review that said the Phono was awesome, so I'm hoping it'll be a good unit for me. Has anyone actually used this since the last post a few months ago?

    I started the thread 3 1/2 years ago and still haven't heard one. I did end up buying a Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus and am quite happy at that price point. I paid $450 new for the DacMagic which also has a built in headphone amp but no phono stage. Please anyone who has heard it please give a review if possible. Would love to hear a Polkies opinion.
