Korg DS-DAC-10R

I just received my Korg DS-DAC-10R recorder, so haven't had a chance to actually USE it yet... but having just installed the software (Audiogate4), it appears that one can burn SACDs! Although the software is free, it is limited in function and you can't burn discs.
The main reason I bought the Korg was because it also does the EQ digitally which is an interesting proposition if one uses the Phono EQ function since in principle you should get improved HF resolution due to the ADC being done BEFORE the EQ hence the pre-emphasis will benefit the amplitude resolution at HF. There is a theoretical penalty at the low end of course. The Line In can be switched to a Phono input and you can choose the EQ curve from RIAA,NAB,Columbia, Decca and AES as well as the RIAA-IEC curve (but who wants to use that!). The input sensitivity is only designed for MM and set for 5mV with an input overload margin of 26dB which isn't bad!

I just did spectral analysis on the idle state and was blown away at how quiet the spectrum was. I was wondering if I was going to have to spend extra on something like the iFi iUSB3.0.

I'll post a review when I get a chance to use it, although I'm in the process of changing arms on my deck while I refurbish the arm base assembly...

So far, it looks like it is going to be a very useful product! Although it won't accept balanced inputs or a Word Clock input.
