I own a Rega RP6 Turntable, Rega Brio-R, and Rega Ear. Why did you want to by-pass your preamp? Did the USB cable come with it? Software used?

Hi Jeff... Not sure of the context here, got an email from Amazon saying I bought this item and might be able to help! The reason I bought this was to use my Rega as a second system in my lounge, through my hoe AV system. The phono pre om my Pioneer was not powerful enough, so I picked up this unit as a cheap alternative. Works fine, and just plugs and plays fine. as variable attenuation to make it easy to use. Hope this helps.

It will not work without a phono preamp. The output of the phono cartridge is to low. If you purchase a phono preamp and purchase some adapters you could make it work.

Nope. No preamp needed for this model. You can definitely use the USB inputs, but even the analog (RCA) output on this table can plug into any line-level input on a receiver. It has it's own built in phono preamp in addition to the USB out.

This is a phono preamp, what you use if your preamp or receiver does not have a phono input, its for your turntable. The accessory input can be used if you don't have a sufficient number of inputs on your preamp/receiver, but there's only one extra input beyond the phono.

I purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure everything is plugged in right. If using a turntable you need a pre-amp. Not to insult. Did you install the software?

I had the same issue you are trying to get to here... I used the USB input as that comes directly from the computer's pre-amp audio.. much better than RCA idea;What happened though?.. because the USB ports are very unstable and noisy, the sound was messed up, inconsistent. The solution was to get an USB port decrapifier, and I found WYRD made by Schiit Audio. Excellent product, gives me a sound similar to the one coming from my Tascam CD player.If you need details about this, let me know.

Hi. You need to have a phono stage regardless. The Rega is good quality for the price.

I ordered a PYLE-PRO PP444 Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Preamp (through Amazon) for my Sony turntable. So far it is working well.

Regarding hooking this up to the turntable - This DAC accepts digital inputs by way of optical cable or coaxial cable. As long as phono preamp outputs digital signals, this DAC can take the input. Regarding listening - you need to have an amplifier or receiver. :)

Your turntable should already have an output cable and (usually) a ground wire. This preamp includes the cable needed to go to your receiver or amp, as well as a mini-Y adaptor to convert this cable to plug into a computer line input.

No, you do not need a preamp. There is a dedicated phono input. I took a snapshot of the page from the manual, but can't attach it here. You can download the PDF manual at onkyo's site and look at page En-18. :-)

Yes preamp will make it sound better! Most receivers don't have enough preamp build inside to run the turntable

The Mini A2D is intended to be a preamplifier for low level signals (such as from a phono cartridge on a turntable arm) to boost the signal to a level that the main amplifier can amplify. If you plug a low level audio signal into your amplifier input and you don't hear it or it is very weak, then you need a preamp between the signal source and the amplifier. Otherwise, you don't need the preamp. I suggest you ask REGA directly.

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver,Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while.Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty.Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

Output is RCA with a ground. There is no USB. There is also no built-in pre-amp. I purchased one also made by Pyle and it works great. Only negative to this player I've found is that it does not have an auto-return for the arm when the record is done playing. Had I known this, I probably would have shelled out a bit more for one that does, as the previous players I've used have had this feature... perhaps it's not common in "professional" players?

No you don't. But many customers still choose to use one since the sound performance will be better with a preamp. Hope this anwers your question.
