Audio is one of those things that really responds well to keeping things simple. Adding additional building blocks in the signal path is rarely a good thing. If you really want to hear analog done right, you keep any additional processing, especially digital processing, as far away from it as you can.
Is it possible? A good solution?
Is it a good idea to have the following setup?
Turntable -> Phono -> A/D converter -> DAC with preamp -> power amp
In that case, I can invest in a high quality DAC with preamp function (like Weiss Dac202) and got lots of options in digital area.
The only thing I am worry about is the Analog side...will that DAC somehow change the sound character from the turntable/cartridge?
Or it is simply a stupid idea at all???
