What do you think you have spent on this set up?
About what one might spend on a first cartridge upgrade. If you’re talking about a value proposition, let’s say I had an analogue front end and I wanted to alter the tone so I swapped cartridges to process the signal. It will either do what I want it to or it won’t. If I want to try something different I’ll have to replace it or something else as another arbitrary attempt at altering the signal.
It clearly doesn’t appeal to you as a method of controlling tone, but the ability to alter the signal not just overall but to each individual driver, switch it back again, get an immediate A-B, see it on a graph, measure response, calculate filters, adjust for room modes....
Value is subjective.

You can look up the new bits. His DSP and the two little Topping DAC/Amps come to less than £400
Old stuff is free considering how long you've already extracted value from it. Let's say for the sake of argument my speakers and power amps give me £1 worth of pleasure every week, then they were already fully paid for more than a decade ago.
