The Anton Parr Easy Dens is real nice.
It is not for the feint of wallet and you need to pay extra to upgrade and be able to use all the readings.
I like that you don't need much for sample size and it automatically corrects for temp.
I only got to use it for little bit before I took down all my equipment and after a year now I am about to start reassembling everything.
CAN'T WAIT :D :D :D

2cc sample requirement - cool! But $400 as the sale price is more than this hobbyist can fathom.

The “how to” video said to use a 10ml sample. But they used much more to degas the CO2 out, so I’d think more is needed if using wort or wash. Perhaps with a spirit that has run through the still already where there is no dissolved gas in the product you may not need to degas the test sample. But it still says to draw a 10ml (10cc) sample.

Not digital but go here, and order 2 sets of whatever you want

I find the 3 piece set of 0-40, 40-70, 70-100 handy. Also they’re calibrated for 20c so correction tables work well.

I actually got to Sample a snap 51 yeaterday and a snap 35? Both were very accurate! Out VERY PRICEY! How well does the snap “EASYDENS” work for spirit runs?
