Hmmm, I think there is a better way to do what you want to do. You only need one DAC and I believe that Onkyo should put the analog output onto its preamp output jacks in the back. If so, you can just pipe analog to the second system.
Need Receiver Help: High Quality Ampification & DAC, Digital input to Zone 2, Older is OK
Hi,
I’m looking for some recommendations.
I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR5008, which has a killer amp (still one of the more powerful in a receiver) and a good DAC. I am using it in a 7.1 setup. It is older, and doesn’t have all the latest bells & whistles and not 11.2.4 channel support... but I don’t need that.
My main issue with what I have is that Zone 2 only supports analog inputs. I want to have Zone 2 be my 2 channel setup (different speakers) and my music library is all digital. The Zone 2 feeds to a separate amplifier.
Does anyone know of a receiver, and it can be an older model, that has the following?
- Great amp with 7 channels+ amplified.
- Great DAC.
- Zone 2 can route digital signals.
- 4K would be good.
- Good room correction would be good.
- Reliable / Good build quality.
Thanks!
