The optical phono cartridge has been around for decades. Lack of a low heat light source handicapped its progress until the latest micro LED bulbs solved that issue.
Japanese company DS Audio have the resources and more importantly, the dedication to develop the newest generation of high performance optical cartridges. The DS-E1 is their latest effort to introduce optical cartridges and phono amps to the serious vinyl listener at a practical price point.
This combination delivers quiet, fast and balanced sound quality. I don't think there is a new cartridge/phonostage combination that can come close to this level of performance for under $5000.
Here is a link describing the principles behind the optical cartridge.

I encourage you to read the reviews and visit the DS Audio website for more information. This DS-E1 package punches way above its price point in sound quality.
