    Default [SOLD] PS Audio Nuwave Phono Converter

    CONFIRM SOLD
    Thanks for looking.

    MY PS AUDIO NUWAVE PHONO CONVERTER FOR SALE

    RRP £1760 Looking for £1100 ono Delivered to the UK
    (outside UK? we can work out the postage)

    Bought as a tool to digitise my vinyl, job's now done so use it solely as a Phonostage.
    Looking to a Rega to match my P10 Turntable (Rega synergy and all that) so selling this to put towards funds for that.
    I don't need the digital sorcery this thing can do any more, and I know anyone (like Me) with an interest in archiving their Reel to Reel, Vinyl or cassette would get the same benefit I did.

    Purchased Jan 2019, last shipment to the UK before the product was discontinued.
    Superb sounding phonostage in its own right, as well as a digital "Swiss army knife" for archiving your analogue source material.
    24/192/ DSD digital copies of your R2r tapes, Vinyl Lps and cassettes, or just use it as a superb sounding Phonostage.

    If your a big collector a unit like this is the way to go.

    Not just me that is saying it!

    MM and MC, wide range of compatible cartridge Loading and Gain settings:
    Mint condition, zero dings, scrapes or Dents - Looks new.
    A heavy solid thing, about the width of a Cyrus box but half the height.
    Sits quite inconspicuous on the rack, quite small in front profile but very deep.

    Proper caps and a toroid transformer for the power supply
    Some pics of it in action:



    Rear Panel showing inputs / outputs:

    INPUTS

    Phono from Turntable
    (AnOther) for Reel to Reel, Cassette Deck etc

    ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
    * RCA
    * Balanced XLR

    DIGITAL OUTPUTS
    * S/PDIF
    * USB
    * i2s

    Dual mono construction, Toroidal transformer power supply, i2s digital output,
    a combined Phono Stage, A/D Converter AND analogue source material "Ripper" to digital files via its UBS output.

    A multi-bit DSD based Analogue to Digital converter, it runs as a core DSD converter, resampling any analogue input at 352,800Hz (5.6MHz)
    This means any conversion to PCM is handled "post digital", always running at highest speed and greatest bit depth.
    So sounds "bloody good".
    Can connect your Turntable and Reel to Reel/ Tape deck at the same time too, just switch your input from the front panel.

    THIS THING:

    Turns your analogue playback to a digital source to your DAC, PCM up to 24/192 and double rate DSD.
    Play Vinyl (R2R, Tape or whatever analogue source you plug into it) into your dac of choice, with (from personal experience) ZERO loss compared to the original.
    Alternatively: Rip whatever you plug into it to digital file format.

    Connect a Laptop with Software like VInyl Studio/ Audacity and rip your LPs, R2R tapes or cassettes to Digital, either PCM up to 24/192 and single or double rate DSD.


    Hope this can go to a happy home,
    Thanks for looking.
