[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] TP digital input ugly noise

2012-12-26 Thread michel
Being a Transporter user for years I used the optical input the first time. It worked as it should until I shut down the source. I heard some nasty grainy noise that did not alter when changing volume. It disappeared immediately when powering on the source player. The same effect occurs when

Believe me, the analog-to-digital-to-analog sequence certainly dawned on me as well but I was hoping to go with that method for two reasons: 1) minimize the number of connections to my amplifier 2) utilize the volume control within the Transporter for the turntable output

Maybe I'm not thinking creatively enough, or am taking the easy way out, but it sounds to me that your best solution would be adding a pre-amp, ideally one with a phono input (and corresponding phono pre). aubuti's

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll attempt to incorporate the ADC and Transporter first, if that doesn't work I can always add the pre-amp and bypass the Transporter altogether. This exercise is mainly meant for fun and games but I'm also hoping to maintain a relatively clean sound when

Lo, t 04:50 26/12/2012, you wrote: 1. USB TT really suck . Indeed a lot of these turntables seem to be built to be as cheap as possible with just the ability to get a signal out. I would get a second hand TT or borrow one and digitize vinyl with either a PC via an ADC or the way I do it

What do people think of the idea of taking a Stanton T.92 or ST.150 and attaching it to the Transporter via the SPDIF output on the turntable? I realize these turntables are meant for DJs but would the sound on my system be bad?
