Best of both worlds
This turntable is an extremely well conceived product from Sony. It sounds great as a standard turntable, and the ability to rip vinyl to hi-res DSD takes it to another level. The vinyl rips I've done sound great, and are very close to the experience of playing back directly. The ripping software is also really well designed and easy to use, which is nice to see as companion software for hi-fi gear is often a bit rubbish.
I also really love the industrial design too, the all-black is super stylish, and the unit feels substantial. The built-in phono stage is also a nice touch which really simplifies setup and made it a lot easier to hide ugly cables away etc.
A+ for me :)
