Ooo, and quite cheap, too!


At 50 quid I'd have bought one straight away but 70-odd quid is too much for what it is.

I think the price is very reasonable, only sub 50 quid Zorro card I have ever seen was the  Kickflash - 1MB Rom card.


If it also had a 16bit DAC with an AHI driver I'd gladly pay more.

It's a cool device and I may get one in future but it's too expensive for an impulse purchase right now.

"full 16-bit 48Khz audio"

This was acceptable 10+ years ago, but not today.
Most of the music I listen to in recent years (bought from online services) is 24bit/96Khz.


Which still doesn't sound as good as vinyl records on an SL1200 with Ortofon carts.

Yep, but the SL1200 was not built for sound quality, way too rigid.
I had one but sold it the minute I heard a 70's era Thorens on my setup, simply no comparison (with same cartridge, of course).
More detail, more dynamic, lower noise-floor.

These days I'm using a Thorens TD125mk2 with an Ortofon SuperOM30 nude/fine-line stylus.


Very nice!

I sold my 1210's a long time ago sadly so I'm at the mercy of 24/96 FLAC rips I took of my vinyl collection and they nowhere near sound the same. :/

It all depends on the record company.
Generally, German & UK pressings from the late 70's and 80's are amazing, especially the 45rpm maxi-singles.
US pressings I found to be generally mediocre, but there are exceptions.


I had dubplates that sounded better than some pressings that came out of Chicago and Detroit in the 80's. Lol
