Twenty plus years ago I bought a Linn hi-fi system composed of separates with a pre-amp and separate power amps. All the pre-amp inputs are RCA Phono with 300mV rms sensivity / 10K Ohms. I would like to be able to plug a USB stick into it so as to play MP3/WMA audio (I’m assuming it would be able to play such formats). Can anyone suggest some form of ‘magic box’ or adaptor that will accept a USB input and also connect to my system with RCA Phono? If my system isn’t able to read native MP3/WMA, is there another gadget that would convert the MP3/WMA source into a signal my old pre-amp would recognise? I’m not able to upgrade to a new Linn ‘network digital source’ as a pre-amp replacement, as apart from the significant cost, my existing source separates need RCA phono connections that Linn’s new hi-fi generation doesn’t have. Any advice please?
