Just a quick update to say the DS2 usb phono stage is very good and ripping vinyl with it and vinyl studio pro is a doddle. also have added a digione case to my rpi; the ali one and its quite nicely made if a bit of a pig to fit with no instructions(hope you are reading Allo)
I might add the Vena is starting to come more on song now after me doing some burning in etc though both the coax, optical and usb sections..just left the power amps off while it did it thing
