Looking for a CD/MP3 recorder to loop into my hogh end analog system

Hi there,


I do have what we can call a special high end dj set up. The system consist of 3 turntables, 2 Technics SL1200 (modified tone arms-RegaRB300/SME3009) and one 1 SL1100 (Stax tonearm) all connected to a Bozak Mixer which serves as a preamp in this case. I have looped into the mixer/preamp a frequency isolater and 5 band EQ but also for the main a BSS960 EQ 30 band.

the speakers for the booth are Klipsh Heressy’s which are powered with a MC275 McIntosh and the Main speakers are JBL 4430 powered by a solid state MC2500 McIntosh. I do have two gain volume on the mixer for booth and Main room. the question is that I need loop in a last pc of equipment which is a recorder! CD and MP3 would be amazing to have but I do not want to loop in something not as high end as the rest in order to maintain the sound quality. I have no options on the mixer for a Rec out so therefore need to loop in. I have been focusing on high end old analog product and the sound is definitely amazing. the question: what kind or brand would loop into my system?

if you are interested to see some pictures please let me know

thank you guys.

Hi Matt,

thank you for the feedback. the aurender looks fantastic but would not work in my application. may be i have not explained myself correctly. In fact my issue is that as i have no rec out from my preamp, I have to loop in through RCA cable (only) the signal (the recorder device). so therefore i need to keep it as analog as possible so the signal going through the recorder is not modified too much. i would need a line in and out RCA! the question would be what recorder would be the best.

thank you!

Hello Patxi05, MP3's / CD's are the worst sounding digital files.If I were you I would do some research on something that would last into the future like the Aurender X100L and partner it with a great DAC from who ever you like, preferably one that handles at least 24bit/192k DSD and...as long as the DAC you use has a USB audio input then your good from there out to your mixer (this should be a lot more cost effective than buying a expensive all-in one DAC/server/player). The Aurender and DAC together will have a definitive sound so get a good DAC and USB audio cable. You will be amazed at how good your sound will be and how easy it is to keep track of everything on a i Pad using the Aurender conductor app!
