Element X2 analog in - F - 04-28-2022

Hi, I have three questions about Element X2. 


  1. Do you need a separate phono preamplifier for using a turntable with Element X2? 
  2. Does the analog signal get converted to digital? 
  3. Is there a digital out?
Thank you!

Hi,
1. The analog input of element X2 is Line In, not Phono In. It need a standard input amplitude.
If your turntable has no built-in phono preamplifier, you need a separate one.
2. Yes it converts to digital and then convert to analog.
3. No digital outputs.

Thank you for your answers.

I think there’s an underserved market segment of “digital preamp” or “digital source”. A device with streaming, digital ins, analog ins (with adc) and a usb out. With top notch Matrix build quality and usability. You could put that in front of your Kii Threes or your MiniDSP system or whatever.

Thanks for your suggestions. We'll consider it in future designs.
