I have been looking into the same issue for the past 3 days - i have a Carbon DC Esprit too.
Pro ject A/D Phono box S is discontinued unfortunately.
Seb thanks for the suggestions - i will take a look. I emailed Devialet and they could not come up with a single suggestion....

Yes, your Project Essential II has a RIAA and an Analog to Digital converter + the optical output needed to connect it directly to a Phantom or the Dialog. The Phono Box S was only 16/44.1. I believe the electronics in the Essential II does 24/96 over optical.

I want to connect a record player in my devialets.
In which way you would do that and has anyone experience with that?
Which brands would you prefer?
Thank you for help!!!!
The only way is to use an A/D converter into an optical input. I currently use Rega --> Cambridge phono stage --> A/D converter --> Phantom.
It is rather confusing. Maybe I misunderstand something, but I did nothing but just plug the phono optical cable in one Gold and it works ! What should be the fonction of such a D/A converter ? Sorry if my question is stupid.
I believe you are using a TT with a digital out, most turntables do not have this facility and need a separate phono stage which will have an analogue out.

Seems there is a new option for turntable lovers. Pro-Ject introduced the new Record Master Hi-Res turntable incl. Phono-Preamp, USB & SPDIF (Optical) out at CES 2017. It seems to be based on the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC which is nicer quality and better sounding than the Pro-Ject Essential II. So I guess this is a very decent solution for a lot of Phantom owners. The price should be somewhere between $599 and $699.
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
