 The Joplin MkIII is exactaly what you need to connect your Turntable to your computer or to your all-Digital Hi-Fi System.

 The versatile Analog front-end, with settable gain up to 65dB and variable input impedance, allows users to connect any Phono cartridge without the need for a Phono Preamplifier. In case you prefer to, the Analog input may be set to 0dB gain and 47 kOhms impedance, to behave as line input to a Preamp of your choice or Integrated Amp.

The internal processing block allows you to enable Phono equalization in the Digital domain, by choosing one of several Phono curves available.

Digitised data can then be sent to a wealth of Digital outputs, as well as to the USB port for recording to file on a computer. An auxiliary SPDIF Digital input enables a communication channel to the PC - actually providing it with a Digital input.

The extremely high Signal-to-Noise Ratio, vanishingly low distortion and the precision of the equalization curves - make for a virtually transparent link between your Turntable cartridge - your Digital Preamplifier and your computer.

Marco's 'White Paper' on the original Joplin ;

Richard Varey hooks up Joplin MKIII :

"I connected my Sumiko Pearl with JICO SAS Stylus 1 (mounted on The Wand Plus tonearm on the Amari LP32s turntable) to the Joplin and set the load to 47k. I connected the Joplin to my PC with a Belkin USB cable, and to the Black Ice Audio Fusion DAC CD Transport coax input with a Supra TRICO-RCA 75 Ohm double-shielded coaxial digital interconnect.

Technically, this is a very special audiophile product indeed. The ability to render analogue sound without the so-called digital character, with DSD capability, and through the USB connection is pretty much unique".
