Good setup?

[ARandomMan]

Hello 

I have 2 Phantom Golds and I am planning on getting a Rega Planer 6 Ania and a Pro-ject Phono Box DS2 USB. 
The phono box has an optical output so it looks like everything’s compatible with each other but I’m just looking for confirmation that this will work well together and with the Phantoms. 

Any other ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I can wholehearthly recommend the Parks Audio Puffin RIAA, it would knock the socks off the ProJect Phono Box, if RIAAs weared socks. The Puffin has a fantazillion adjustments and sounds just great. I sold my Gold Note PH-10 with external PSU, at 6x the price, and I don't regret it.

There are already a few DC members using Arch. It is certainly very good with Phantoms as it integrates (sends it's output) directly via the network. Whether it has Puffin's sound quality is still an open question...

Very happy with the Arch, sounds very good with my Ortofon Quintet Black MC (0.3mv) + Ortofon T-5 step up transformers.

That certainly looks like a stellar setup! Now if Devialet could put an equaliser (like Sweet Room) in Phantoms all would get even better! Is input switching in Phantoms between for example RAAT and Arch automatic?

Input is switching automatically to Roon when Roon starts playing, switching to the Arch sources is done manually with the Phantom App.

@sven911 - I love the record rack. May I ask what it is?

It was custom build by a cabinet maker based on the original by Kai Takeshima.
