I have heard PS Audio at a show, was very impressed and would have loved to hear their monos in isolation.

either balanced or single ended out afaik, plus the i2s

Yup, that’s the way to do it. (Or rca) unless you go digital.
The BHK mono’s can drive big IRS V’s with ease, so plenty of oomph!

But then you would hear nothing at all, unless they hummed a little....;)

Agree it's 'left field' and it does look like a fine piece of kit. But I can't see the point in digitising an analogue signal for it to be immediately converted again back to analogue. No doubt I am missing something here.

You mean you take a perfectly good analogue recording and digitize it !

Heathen..... ;-)

Does it not do all the RIAA EQ in the digital domain then? I thought that was the point? If not then I don't know either.

Ah - I thought the equalisation was being done in the analogue domain.

If the equalisation is done in the digital domain then I can believe the equalisation could adhere more closely/accurately to the RIAA curve, and the two channels could be more closely matched/balanced. But even if an analogue output is used, one is still converting to digital, doing the equalisation and then converting back to analogue.

I can see advantages and disadvantages.

Looking forward to hearing it sometime
