Whats on your turntable tonight?
@mammothguy54  - Hey Joel. Congrats on the new TT. I hope it bring you much joy!  
DAC with analog input ?
I believe you already have everything you need. You have an integrated amp - Rogue that has all analog inputs (no internal DAC). Your Yamaha CD/SACD player connects to the Rogue integrated amp via a pair of analog RCA interconnects. Put an SACD i...

@geof3 - Thanks for your comment. I think it's really good, especially for a 1971 rock album. Apparently the 2012 MOVLP664 is based on a 1995 Jon Astley remix from the original 16 multi track tapes. From the reviews I've read, many folks think it...
