So now there’s arch... with absolutely zero performance specs... but in theory that was the product I was waiting for. Unless it streams poor quality digital sound. Why on earth wouldn’t they give a heads up? I was that close to spend more than 1.500 euros on a McIntosh phonostage, and they launch this little thingy. They really make it hard for us to love them.

I just received my arch and it was easy to setup and get working. I have an MC cartridge and Arch is able to play nicely with it by adjusting the sensitivity. But there are no capacitance adjustments.
It sounds very detailed and balanced if a little bit bass shy. I may use arch after my current preamp instead and see how it fairs on line level.

It's amazing that you've already got an Arch. Is the Arch for turntables only?
Is general analog input possible?
I am very curious about the manual.

Turntable
Or
Line level input
Or
Spdif
So this is actually the analog input section of an Expert amp? Cartridge, line or dual spdif is just like Expert. Do you use it wired or wifi? Any pointers to the methods (protocol) used for transfer to Phantoms?
Spdif on RCA is very interesting for example with a MiniDSP SHD Studio and/or a Mutec MC-3 +USB (if Arch transfers 24bit to Phantoms) (if Arch transfers 24bit to Phantoms)
