About this product

Unlike anything on the market, PS Audio's stunning-sounding NuWave Phono Converter functions as a one-box all-analog Class-A MM/MC phono preamplifier and analog-to-digital converter. You can play LPs with tangible warmth and musicality, and now, take those albums with you by transferring the exact sound of your analog front end to digital at any resolution (up to DSD). First and foremost, however, please understand NuWave as a world-beating $2k phono preamplifier that just happens to have an outstanding A2D inside. That's because NuWave is by far the best phono preamplifier PS Audio has made in its 40-year-plus history. It works with cartridges with up to 220mv output as well as those with as low as a 0.3mv output. A passive RIAA curve and stellar, discrete Class A FET output stage help bring out the rich, open, and dynamic properties from your vinyl LPs.

Purists, also, should take note: The analog and digital paths are completely isolated and separated in the American-made NuWave. Easy to use, this cutting-edge component is a lifesaver for both LP lovers and anyone who wants to take the sound of their turntables with them. Just input any analog source – such as a turntable, tape deck, or tuner - directly to a DAC, computer, or preamplifier. Once connected, you will be able to playback your vinyl though your system and/or record your vinyl (or any analog source) directly into your computer. Building a digital library from your analog sources is that simple!
