Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB (2021)

This direct-drive turntable offers three ways out: RCA output jacks (a detachable RCA cable with ground wire comes in the box) fed by a switchable phono/line preamp, a USB Type-B port for digitizing records to a computer at 16-bit/44.1 or 48 kHz, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX for wireless playback. Flip the rear switch to LINE and it drives powered speakers directly; set it to PHONO and pair it with an external stage. The USB connection uses a standard USB-B (printer-style) jack, so a USB-B-to-A cable handles ripping.

Audio-Technica’s direct-drive turntable with RCA line/phono output, a USB Type-B port for ripping, and Bluetooth 5.0.
