New York 2014: ADL gets even higher (resolution)
And they are. I don’t really need an analog-to-digital recorder, myself, but I can see where that would be tempting. I actually do have a giant Blue microphone — you know, for those late-night crooning sessions that somehow, even after all those expensive lessons, still sound like throttling penguins — so I can see where this is kind of a big deal. Oh, and all you I-must-archive-my-LP folks — here’s a way to finally capture the full(er) glory of those LP majesties. For the rest of us, however, $550 seems pretty reasonable for a USB DAC. The fact that it has a “phono stage” (both MM and MC, courtesy of the ADC input), is remarkable.
Shown here with the ADL H128 ($470), the pair makes for a rather compelling sub-$1k system that is not only simple to use, but rather comfortable — and yes, it sounds great.
Affordable, portable audio? Yes, yes it is. I’m going to have to look harder at this brand and soon.
Thank you. The GT40a (Alpha) will be out end of October and I’m sure reviews will be coming shortly!
Would be nice to have a full review of the ADL DAC with the headphone out!
