The Phono Box DS2 USB is a sophisticated phonostage, based on a high-end passive/active ultra linear phono equalisation. MM and MC capability, as well as extensive variable impedance and capacitance settings, provide a perfect match for any class of cartridge. Two individual phono inputs allow you to use two different turntables or tonearm / cartridge combinations with different sound characteristics to perfectly match your preferred type of music.
OVERVIEW
The Phono Box DS2 USB is a sophisticated phonostage, based on a high-end passive/active ultra linear phono equalisation. MM and MC capability, as well as extensive variable impedance and capacitance settings, provide a perfect match for any class of cartridge. Two individual phono inputs allow you to use two different turntables or tonearm / cartridge combinations with different sound characteristics to perfectly match your preferred type of music.
A very low noise and jitter-free A/D converter transfers the analog signal into high-resolution digital format (PCM up to 192kHz or DSD 128). Via its USB output, you can record your vinyl on any computer. There is also an analog line input to digitize other analog audio sources. A standard line output to connect the unit to your hi-fi system isn’t missed.
The Phono Box DS2 USB is manufactured in a beautiful chassis made out of aluminium and metal, which gives an elegant, functional look and avoids the influence of mechanical or electromagnetic interference.
Finishes: Black or Silver, with/without wooden side panels (Walnut, Eucalyptus)
