    Good to know before you buy one then!
    I'd have a look at the P2 and P3 mate.

    Bit of a minefield really.

    OPPO 203 (Modded: Linear PSU, i2s output to Dac) - Roon Endpoint, HDMI input used for all things Streaming/ PS5 /AppleTV ... also good for movies apparently?

    here you go with a better arm and high rated https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/produc...s=1&BrandIds=2 built in MM phono, I think it is virtually the same design of arm as on the Debut carbon.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links

    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    Well...
    were looking at the low budget end of course.

    2nd hand is always a good shout if looking for something specific, but if new and moderns your thing:
    Speak nice to the Mrs and push the boat out a bit.
    P3, need a phonostage though.
