About the Waxwing
The Parks Audio Waxwing is a compact phono preamplifier with built-in analog-to-digital conversion and DSP. It supports moving-magnet, moving-iron, and moving-coil cartridges, and can also accept line-level sources. Its DSP provides selectable phono equalization curves, tone shaping, filtering, channel and phase adjustments, mono and Super Mono modes, and the MAGIC feature for reducing the audibility of record pops and clicks. Control and configuration are handled through a Bluetooth Low Energy smartphone app; Bluetooth is for remote control, not audio streaming. The unit provides analog RCA output and coaxial and optical S/PDIF digital outputs.
