ANY USB turntable is NOT the problem. It’s the SOFTWARE! The problem with USB is that it uses a “silence between tracks” type software only. Is it the end of a song, or just a quiet spot? With DAK’s software, YOU, not the software can chose. With USB, you plug into a USB port, with DAK, it’s the rear stereo input. Did LPs come as stereo/mono, or as USB? Hmmm…1st clue. Please TRUST ME, try [...] first. ANY type of software means that YOU must enter album/track info… Be this as it may, LPs take a while. DAK makes this as simple as possible, and more; like click/pop removal. I tell all that will listen about DAK. Those who try it, buy it. Yes, I do use a Thorens turntable, but his package will blow any USB’s away; your turntable, or DAKs. (If you use a ‘turntable’ vs a ‘record player’, you’ll understand.) Have fun! The music is the result! All I wanna do is to preserve my 30 plus years of LPs to MP3 or WAV, or both. With DAK, you can.

The Turntable arrived broken, only just today was I able to speak with someone at ION about what to do.
I will reserve my right to review as soon as I get one that works… Thank you, Kevin Gilpatric

I have the other Ion unit that goes through the computer and just hated it. I searched the web to see if there was a better software out there. Never really found anything good. I wanted to replicate the way I used to make analog mix tapes. This unit does that.
You store on the flash drive via anything on the input or the turntable. I was surprised how well the turntable recorded. I’m going to try hooking my Thorens into it.
The sound is very good on the demo I made off 45s.

This is so easy to set up and operate my 6 years old daughter could set it up. When you set it up don’t forget to wrap the drive belt under the bottom of the turntable around the little knob if you don’t the turn table will not turn. The sound of the finished cd is awesome you can even mix different songs from different LP’s. I even hooked up cassette tapes and recorded to cd awesome and easy. Quality of sound A++ and besides my very very LARGE collection of albums and tapes were just sitting there. It not very reasonable to try to buy them again on cd. Straight out the box on the table in 15min at the most your making digital quality cd’s of your favorite music. WOW did I go back down memory lane from the 60’s to the 90’s WOW I love this dohickie!

I have had this turntable/cd burner for about one month at this writing. I have recorded 20 LPs into the on board hard drive and then burned 10 cds thus far. The machine is easy to learn and easy to use. I have read other reviews and some of the people who have purchased this machine have had some problems with the cartridge balance and hum. I have not had any such problems. If you follow the directions closely you will be able to balance the cartridge arm properly and as long as you plug the machine into a grounded outlet you should have no hum. The machine has thus far worked exactly as it should have. The fidelity is clear and therefore you won’t need to purchase an expensive cartridge for it.
