FS Parks Audio puffin phono-pre dsp with 24/96 digital coax out - purchase price $589,
sales price $425. Shipping and PayPal at buyers expense.
Purchased 11/2020, about 15 hours on it.
Works perfect and is cosmetically perfect- I used it with a Denon DL-103R LOMC - no problem with gain
I slightly preferred the coax-out into my Holo Audio Spring DAC KTE edition over the analog out.
Fun tweaking the sound
