Can digitizing vinyl match CD?
Anyone know of a decent little player for running etc that can play 24/96? 
Small hi-res player?
Thanks Marakanetz, the Apogee looks nice. My question was for a different product, however, a music player for travelling, running etc. Is it hard to make them take 24/96 or higher sound formats, or is it just branch inertia we are seeing here? 
Can digitizing vinyl match CD?
Just to confirm that even using a cheap (not crap) Creative audigy notebook card, I get better music from my vinyl than I do from CD. Even though I have to downsample from 24/96 to 16/44. My main issue, now, is why there are no small players able ... 
Io line out mod?
Audiophile digital recording updateI am now quite happy using the following system for recording (analog to digital). I use a (thinkpad) laptop as controller and archiver, together with a Creative Audiogy Nx separate box, whith a 96/24-capable DAC... 
Io line out mod?
I've now discussed various options with Glenn and Jim Aesthetix - a big plus for customer service, even for second-hand owners - thanks. And with others. What it boils down to is this. I write it here since it may be of interest to other purist an...

Io line out mod?
Thanks a lot, especially Jafox, and also Gerrym5. Living far away., with huge shipment cost, I think about doing this myself. If it doesn't work I can remove it. Tell you more when i've tried it. Greetings, Oystein. 
Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,,
Microstrip brings more user experience into this thread - experience much in line with my own. When you get these speakers to work, you dont want to part with them. My Krell fpb600 is a good match, although not perfect. I want to thank the contrib... 
Aesthetix Io won't start...
Great to get this kind of help in a forum. Perhaps Aesthetix users could help make a troubleshooting list. for example, how long before reconnecting the power cables, how to search for tube errors, how to replace fuses. Silly me, I didn't catch up... 
Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,,
A follow up here. I found no dealer in Oslo with a big tube amp, willing to let me try it. Also, dragging 80 kgs is a big burden. Better, then, to listen to others who have tried this, before investing a lot of time and a poor back (prolapsis in 9... 
Aesthetix Io won't start...
Problem solved, thanks to Rushton's advice! It was the Buss fuse that was gone. Great to get help like this. 
Aesthetix Io won't start...
Great advice, many thanks Rushton. My power supply has two fuses in the back and two mounted on the board itself, one of them says Buss MDL 3/8. This may be broken, has some black dots on the inside of the glass even if the thread looks whole. I h... 
Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,,
I am on holiday and not able to follow this thread so often, so this is just to say, thanks for more advice and suggestions, and also: I use the Aesthetix Io, so I am not exactly new to tubes. 
synergy
A few years ago, I managed to get a used Aesthetix Io with volume control, that i could connect directly from my player (and on occasion, cd) to my fpb600. I have never looked back ( both for lp and cd this was far better than the KAV 250p i had)....
