I've just got my new RP3/Elys 2 home and set up....wow how much detail!!!

I've played one side of Avalon - it sounds amazing I'm gobsmacked!

Struggling to hear the pops & crackles now too on some of my crackly records!

All my doubts about the Elys 2 being dull have gone out of the window, sounds loads better than my RP1 the Ortofon OM5E on the RP1 must of been a bit worn as it was picking up loads of noise!

Anyway I'm very happy right now! and Thanks to Gary & Bill at Analouge Seduction!

Superb piece of kit.  Probably the turntable I'll keep for good to be honest.  Love listening to my vinyl on it and I think the Elys 2 is superb.

Now you can compare the sound quallity between the Rega DAC/SBT and RP3.

Like you i love my Digital audio data played throught the DAC/SBT but does not compare to the sound quality of the RP3.
