Hi Guys:
  Anybody try hooking their TT up to a DAC and then to the preamp with a phono stage? Just wondering about the results. Better? Same as with no DAC? OR!!! Just forgedaboutit!!

                                                 Cheers
                                               Charlie

Whaaa?   

I was thinking the same thing, but my turntable is an older model and only has optical out....   :duh:

I am pretty sure a record player's signal is not compatible with a DAC's input.  However, if you spin the record backwards, the record player might "speak" to the DAC.

Good idea if you have the new direct drives with digital outputs e.g. Stanto, Denon, Numark.

I happen to do it with my ClearAudio, but that's because I'm doing digital RIAA.
