Q: Does a discrete dac support an analog input like a phono amp?

Hi.

I used a discrete dac and a goldmund 37S + 440 mono amp.

And, I listen the music with analog LP connecting the goldmund pre amp.

If I replace the goldmund pre & power amp with MSB S202 power amp, How can I listen the music with analog LP connecting the discrete dac?

Thankyou.

One of the reasons I use a pre-amp with my Premier DAC, is to be able to play vinyl. The MSB DACs over the Premier have analog inputs. For example, a Cascade DAC would accept the cables from your phono preamp, and function as a great pre amp itself.

The MSB amps work just like an amp(s).

Thankyou for sharing your knowhow.

With the Discrete DAC, you would need to keep a Preamp in your system for analog sources. Alternatively, if you sell the Goldmund preamp and upgrade to a Cascade DAC, it will include a fantastic analog preamp that many of our customers enjoy for LP sources. Best of luck!
