ADC for integrating my TT

[Sebwise]

I want to integrate my rega P3 TT to my Buchardt a10 speakers. The a10 are WISA speakers and wireless connected to platin WISA hub.

Platin hub is great in the digital domain but the implantation of ADC and analog in is pretty bad. So I would like to use digital in instead of analog into the hub. (The hub regardless needs to convert to digital to send via WISA to speakers)

I have looked at Waxwing but it is a lot of money plus tax and shipping from the US (I live in Sweden)

I could go through a separate preamp with volume control directly to the speakers xlr (they have good ADC) but then I will miss room eq on the platin hub, run separat remote, more cables and also expensive buying a preamp so I would like to avoid this.

- Any good ADC tested here or recommended?

- any more options like the waxwing? A phono stage with digital out?

- BT transmitter could work sending the BT to platin Hubs BT. But then again I would want a BT transmitter with good ADC and high res codec.


So much info and alternatives on DACs but it is harder to find good info and recommendations on ADC. Please help out!

What's wrong with the ADC in the hub?

ART Phono Plus perhaps instead of Waxwing....

This looks good enough for vinyl.

Swissonic Converter AD 24/192 (ADC) Measurements

After the recent measurement I did for the unbranded ADC I got off eBay, to compare a friend borrowed me a relatively similar device by a thomann.de house brand - Swissonic Converter AD 24/192 that sells for about 40€: Basic features are mostly the same, except this one comes with a power...

Thanks! I will check this one out

Sorry to ask again but is there any other ADCs out there.

For some good tips here but my thoughts so far:
-minidsp Adept: not in stock in europe hard to find reviews, info or measurements

- art phono plus: seems pretty bad from reviews and measurements here

- swissonic: best match so far. The low price and looks makes me a bit sceptivak but maybe that’s just stupid. Want to find something good for around 100-150$

Is there so few ADCs on the market?

Pure ADCs, yes.

E1DA Cosmos ADC is another one, but in stock form it only has USB output, plus you'd need an external Phono pre.

Personally I'd just buy the ADept.

Thanks! Why would you go for Adept?

I already have an external phono. Ifi zen phono air. Nothing super advanced but I think it is pretty solid.

Pure adcs? Not a problem if it is a DAC/ADC combo or if the unit can do other things.
