for listening and sampling use, I’ve been very intrigued by the newish Sony PS-HX500 turntable. It has USB and line outputs (so no need for a RIAA, plugging straight into any line level sampler!) but the freakiest thing is that it also has DSD recording support built in!!
DSD recorders are quite rare and hella expensive usually. You can also convert DSD to PCM so its not an either or affair.
I’ve seen pretty good prices for these in amazon sometimes… If I wasn’t already swimming in turntables I most likely would already have grabbed one.
Lets hope some good BF deals for this
