Phantom Gold for 60s/70s rock music?

Sounds to me the only option for me is the toslink directly to PC, as the Arch would be used for vinyl. I am reading Arch also has a audio delay, regardless, so doesn't seem that would be viable. Thanks for good info!

I do not think the delay is resulting from Arch that much, but by the necessary processing in the Phantoms. Arch only converts the analogue signal into the proprietary Devialet protocol which is then delivered to the Phantoms. More or less the same way Dialog works. Arch is much more versatile though, and the Phono Preamp is derived from the Expert series. So for Phono it is anyway the best option available.

Yeah, I would definitely have to pick one up if I were to go for the Phantoms. My only concern is the audio delay for wathcing movies/tv-shows.

No audio delay when connected directly from my TV with an optical cable overhere! Works like a charm.
