I thought the p5 was a preamp.  
Think ill just go with a lumin
You go now highpeakrider  $400 iFI Zen more musical than a Lumin D2.  Easy to believe

Sounds like Apple Crappie. I get a new Android every year no problem. Dom wrote back from Vienna. Had to do a USB factory reset, update and start over.

+1 on Cardas Eutectic and WBT. All silver solder I've see contain lead. Practice makes perfect  
$1,500 phono upgrade worth it?

Need help understanding USB cables

RCA to XLR adaptor causing amp to shut down
Just swap the hot/return between 2 & 3. There is no absolute standard. I had to rewire my Shure mic transformers back in the day.
