Korg has released a new Computer Interface that has a built in Phono Pre (w/o RIAA filter) and has released AudioGate 4 which has DSD native RIAA filtering and other filtering options (i.e Columbia 78 filtering, AES filtering, etc) - if you want to convert your Vinyl to DSD format.

The DS-DAC-10R is both a DAC and ADC that will allow you to record DSD64 and DSD128 to your Windows 10 or OSX computer.

Does Audiogate 4 have any other improvements other than vinyl?

From the Korg web page:

"AudioGate is able to carry out all of the basic editing operations needed for a stereo recorder ---
- splitting and joining songs
- fade processing
- volume adjustments
- L/R balance adjustments
- normalization
- cutting DC components
- editing marks
--- all while staying within the domain of each supported format, including 1-bit DSD."

Don't know if these are new features or not as I haven't used AudioGate 3

It also looks like the added the ability to see the wave form like in the new Tascam HiRes editor:

According to the manual, it only accepts MM cartridges.


Record player cartridges that can be connected to the DS-DAC-10R
The “Phono Input” of the DS-DAC-10R can only be used with an MM cartridge. For converting the
output level to MM cartridge, connect it to the input terminal of the DS-DAC-10R via a step-up
transformer or head amplifier for MC cartridge. You must also change “Line / Phono” to “Phono.”

I wouldn't expect it to accept MC carts at that price - you could always grab a couple of step up transformers
