Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The handytraxx 1bit combines portable record playback with a direct vinyl-archiving workflow. Connect it to a computer by USB and use AudioGate 4 to record in DSD at 2.8224 or 5.6448 MHz, or PCM up to 192 kHz/24-bit. For listening, it has built-in stereo speakers, a NuTube phono equalizer with adjustable TUBE control, and bass and treble adjustment. The aluminum die-cast platter, belt-drive system, JICO J44 A7 cartridge, and interchangeable headshell make it a practical playback-and-digitization center for a record collection.
