The GT40 Harmonizes Computer Files and Analog Inputs
Furutech Introduces the 24/96 GT40 USB DAC with Phono Stage
The GT40 is finally here, built for enthusiasts with growing music collections on their computer hard drives. It’s a high performance 24-bits/96kHz USB DAC that’s amazingly affordable at only $480 in the USA. Looking to convert your LPs or other analog sources to digital? The GT40 will take you to the podium with every album you archive.
The seriously-shielded audiophile-grade GT40 features a low-latency USB 2.0 audio driver that plays and records at 96 kHz. A likely first for this category, the GT40 includes a built-in low-noise MM / MC phono preamp! Record your favorite vinyl to hard disk via the USB output.
The ADL GT40 features L/R analog outputs, and switchable line or phono inputs with a vivid, captivating sound that is simply unheard of in this category.
The ADL GT40 (wired with Furutech’s GT2 USB cable of course!) brings Furutech’s signature sound -- smooth, detailed clarity -- to desktop systems, especially with high resolution 24-bits/96kHz files, but even 16-bit/44.1kHz files sound impeccable and very musical.

Well?
 
Any reviews?
How does it compare to good budget phono preamps (Creek, Pro-Ject, MF, etc....)? ( how does it cope with different cartridges?)
How does it compare to reasonable DAC's?
How does it compare to Headphone amps?
Where does it stand in the ADC stakes?
