I have a single silver phantom, is it possible to connect a vinyl record player?
and if so, which type of record player does one need and how is it connected? and how does one control volume?

Are there better products to convert analog to digital than CYP AU-D4? Is there any losses using this device?
I have a high end turntable and a phono stage. Just looking at best way to connect them to Phantom.

There are several options when you only need line in and optical out. I think the ADL Stratos (
http://www.adl-av.com/products/usbdac/stratos/) is one of the more high end solutions available. I went for an unorthodox solution, the Musical Fidelity Merlin which also solved some other audio requirements I had (

Innuos Zen Mini MK3 -> (Ethernet / Audioquest Optical) -> Dialog & 2x White Phantom
Pro-Ject Carbon Debut Esprit Turntable with Ortofon Red -> (Cinch/RCA) Musical Fidelity Merlin -> (AudioQuest Optical) to Phantom
Master & Dynamics MH40, Audeze Sine, AudioQuest Dragonfly Red; Remote Control via macOS and iOS devices (Devialet App / Innuos Sense /iPeng / Audirvāna Studio)

This seems like an impressive unit. However it doesn't have optical out.

Yes, I had this one on my list as well. There are Coax to Optical converters, but it would be an additional step. However, at this price point, the ADL Stratos seems to be a good alternative.

Try the CYP with your existing set up and see what you think, I think it does an excellent job and it's a cheap step

Hows the phono stage in Statos? comparable with lehmann black cube se ii ?
davidadamson: I will try that too.
