Another minidsp product which ticks some boxes and lacks others and you still end up with extra adapters/ converters. I dont get this spdif output. People who want to digitize theirs LPs would use usb. Audiophiles would probably stick to analog side and those who use studio interfaces still need another converter.
ps the adept is not only phono...but also unbalanced and balanced line level...(and there, very efficient)

Max. input voltage for line-level signals would appear a bit limited, though - i.e., according to the specs just 2.2 V unbalanced/4.4 V balanced. Makes me wonder, why the Adept doesn't sport a low gain setting for line-level use, while it does for both phono MM and MC level use.
