Vinyl is better. You have to clean each side, go to the turntable after 20 minutes, clean the stylus time to time, clean the records with equipment more expansive than a good DAC, buy a pre phono. I guess it is really more fun. Don't ask how I know, please.

This is 60€ on Taobao now. But I cannot see clearly what are the use cases. One SSD can contains thousands of CD and weight few grams. A 10€ Teac portable player is able to extract all the information from the CD and you can save it in Flac, read it across internet, apply any correction you...

@AsciLab Thank you for your products. Is there any way to see your products in China I mean a way to buy?

Congratulations for the success story to come. Is there any hope to see the brand in China? Because right now searching for Asciilab gives you Labubu results.
