At least on Windows 10, my computer was able to auto-detect and install the necessary drivers for both the turntable and DAC.
The turntable itself feels like a premium product; It’s heavy, well-detailed, and operates with virtually no platter noise or distortion.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard platter noise, I would be broke.
The turntable’s Ortofon OM10 pickup combined with a RecordDoctor clamp made it so I experienced no popping, scratching, or haziness, something I was accustomed to in the setups my friends and family own.
So, a record clamp eliminates popping, scratches and haziness, eh? Is that right?
All of the signature feel and sound of vinyl is ever-present, with a few select records like Porcupine Tree’sFear of a Blank Planet and Opeth’s Damnation sounding particularly vivid and full of warmth.

While the digitalization function was not a feature I found myself using often, I love the flexibility that it provides. I ended up digitalizing my friend’s old, beloved copy of Cream’s Live Cream album for him and my rare copy of The Mountain Goats Beautiful Rat Sunset. After a few tweaks with the software, I found the digitalizing process intuitive and stress-free.
An old copy of Live Cream may not be usable, given the average quality of the turntables used in the '60s.
