The Furutech Alpha Design Labs GT40 is a small, hi quality, headphone amp that has a nice 24/96k USB DAC, phono stage for both MM & MC cartridges, line level input and can also be used as a very good sounding preamp. It even has an A to D converter to digitize your vinyl. It is like a little Swiss army knife. It is a very hi value product with excellent reviews. It is just the kind of inexpensive over performer that we like to sell at Underwood Hifi.

Reviews have been excellent. The 6moons review summed up with:
" The GT40 USB DAC by Furutech (that’s the full name) is a brilliant combination of functionality. You will not manage to find an equally good preamplifier for this money, never mind one with phonostage. The headphone output is equally solid under the proviso of not loading it down with high impedance and low efficiency. The USB DAC too is very interesting, with very good resolution and dynamics."

What Hifi gave it 5 stars and said"
"Product of the Year, Awards 2011. An unusually specified product that turns out not only to be a jack of most trades, but a master of them, too"

Stereophile was amazed and has made it a Class B rated product.

Use the GT40 at your desk thru USB into powered speakers or headphones. Use it in a high quality inexpensive system with a computer source and turntable. Just add an amp and speakers for a wonderful hi value hi quality system.

We accept Visa & MasterCard as well as money orders. Call me at 770-667-5633 to discuss this hi value jack of all trades.

- Incorporates the most trusted driver in professional audio for 96kHz recording and playback
- External power supply: while a USB-powered device might be convenient, it won’t develop the power required for high resolution playback, so we designed the GT40 with an external power supply to solve the problem.
- Headphone Amplifier: It contains a high performance headphone amplifier with ample drive for good headphones
- Analog-to-Digital Converter: The GT40 sports a high-performance ADC IC chip for high resolution recordings via analog inputs including phono, AM/FM radio, or other analog signals.

Please note: The GT40 requires recording software to be installed to record/rip LPs to Hard drive. This software is not supplied with the GT40. There are a variety of free or pay recording software available, so very difficult to make recommendations, but Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a free-to-download software that is relatively simple to use and very functional.
