This is a nifty little device with a lot of input/output options (USB input and output, preamp in/out, TOSLINK in/out, S/PDIF input, and a headphone out). It serves as a standard phono preamp but also includes a useful DAC (16bit/48kHz) and includes an integrated headphone amp. Can also be used as an ADC. Has a lot of features including gain control, etc.

More info can be found at the Applied Research and Technologies product page.

Condition is a conservative 8/10 on the Audiogon Scale. I am the second owner.

Price is $52 shipped CONUS

Package includes:
USB Phono Plus v2
Plug-in power supply (can run using USB power)

The CD including Audacity is not be included because Audacity is a free download.

USB 1.1? How does that affect the performance?

I'll take this one, jageur272.

From my experiences, being USB 1.1 compliant has no effect whatsoever on performance. USB 2.0 was invented to make data transfer quicker, but USB 1.1 is already way overkill for DACs.

In other words, this has no effect on performance subjectively or objectively.

Also, I seem to remember a reviewer saying that it is USB 1.1 compliant, but it also uses USB 2.0 when available.

Thanks,
Leon
