@baylinor 1+ I have the capability to do all that the puffin does and more with my preamp/processor and having this kind of capability is amazing, but my preamp is now up to $15,000 and I am sure the Puffin is a lot less expensive.
The only thing I do not see in the literature is a signal to noise ratio. I am also not fond of electronic azimuth setting. the stylus has to be 90 degrees to the record surface and this is easy to see on a mirrored surface. I am also concerned about the ADCs and DACs in the unit. Those in the MiniDSP SHD are not satisfactory for a high end system. The SHD Studio with outboard DACs is a much better deal. Park mentions a digital output which would allow use of an outboard DAC.
