Puffin Phono DSP Phono preamp from Parks Audio for All Vinyl Systems

Puffin Phono DSP Phono preamp from Parks Audio for All Vinyl Systems

Q: Can eq be turned completely off for doing sw based vinyl rips? also, can this support a mc cart, like rega ania, needing 100ohm loafing?

1) Yes, you can turn the EQ setting off for a flat response (ie no RIAA eq). 2) For moving coil carts like the Ania, set the Puffin load to 200 ohms. The 100 ohms spec listed on many datasheets is a minimum spec.

Q: Can it be connected (via usb) to a computer and from there to a dac (e.g. ifi pro idsd) to play a record without distortion/ damage?

No - the Puffin only has analog outputs (traditional RCA-type connectors). You would need an analog to digital converter box to connect to your ifi DAC (all digital inputs), but there are lots of these devices for sale on Amazon.

Q: Could I turn off the riaa curve and gain to use this only for the dsp?

Yes - you can turn off the RIAA curve and have it be flat; even used on the output of another phono preamp while still using Magic. Load "Set?:CD -4dB" for most line input uses. But note that the Puffin can't be used as a moving coil head amp, as the Puffin's ultra low noise performance for MC carts is engineered to be at the higher gains (48dB and higher) and head amps are around 20dB gain.

Q: can I control the volume of the turntable only with that? I really like this and I want to buy it but I want to make sure

Yes - the Puffin has a Volume control for systems that don't have one for a minimalist setup.
