Chord digital amp won’t have analog input for the simple reason that it’ll require a proper ADC which Rob Watts is developing. It is possible (and I think probable) that his ADC combined with the digital amp would have better transparency than vinyl through traditional preamp and amp. But I suspect it’ll be another couple of years before we’d find out.Dear all, do you suppose future Chord digital amp will have analog imput? I am inclined to wait for it, for best sinergy with BluDave set, but need ampli also for my classic pre, since half of the listening is from lp (other half is from cd).
Otherwise I should consider a good Class A amp (leaving the valves I have today).
Thanks in advice.

The bigger issue I think is that if you’re used to valve sound, you probably appreciate some second and third harmonic distortions from your amp and you’re not likely to get that from the digital amp so I’d say a class A amp is the way to go.
