Perhaps the Arce will work well with a Schitt streamer?

Having read a bit about it I am quite impressed . There are two Word Clock inputs well which may be able to accept a high quality external clock input .

There are two Word Clock inputs well which may be able to accept a high quality external clock input . Since a Word Clock input is dependent on the data sampling rate, it requires a special DAC to provide the correct output. Not the same as a 10MHz reference clock. |

But the same as a Mutec clock output which is slaved to an external clock ?

The new Cyrus table @ £4,295.
Doesn't look like much for that price, esp the arm but maybe it's a wolf in sheep's clothing ... Somehow it weighs 24kg.

Have to say the arm looks a very ordinary Rega clone probably sourced from Rega but not being Ben looking as well finished as those fitted to the higher level Regas .

For the price, it looks extremely basic.

It has the looks of a basic 'plug n play' deck.

The new Denon TT looks a bargain compared to the Cyrus.

This one? www.denon.com/en-gb/product/turntables/DP3000NEGB.htmlMore sensible price I guess but their list of "features" made me smile - not exactly "premium". Am sure they could have done the blurb in a much more persuasive way with a bit more care and thought - Accurate playback Direct-drive motor Vertical tracking Adjustable insulator feet Solid construction Removable dust cover |

Far too much of the cost spent on frivolous casework.

Interesting look, but WTF would you pair it with, visually, and do these "innovators" ever think of that?

I suspect the manufacturer wants you to pair it with the rest of the gear they sell ...

A dinky new cdp from SMSL.
With AK4499EX, headphone amp, XLR and Bluetooth.
Curiously retro operation.
I wonder if it's a teasmade as well?
About £560.

Anyone come across Manger speakers from Germany? Absolutely love the aesthetic and would like to hear these sometime. mangeraudio.com/en/systems/ |

Having had speakers with the drivers before and the Manger speakers themselves, all I can say is a very, very distinctive sound, the same way naim is marmite these are to BUT thankfully don't sound like naim.
