Set player output to bitstream to disable it's processors. Hook 5.1 analog cables to pre/pro for music surround, hook digital cable from player to pre/pro so that pre/pro can decode movies, hook your other degital cable from player to your dac for redbook cd and your dac's analog outs to cd inputs on your pre/pro. Switch inputs on pre/pro to match your source as needed.
Questions about DAC's and Processors
Questions:
I just purchased a external Theta Basic II DAC and hope to buy a Theta transport soon. It may be awhile because I just purchased a Theta Dreadnaught amplifier and a Theta Casablanca II Processor (It will be here in a few weeks). The Casablanca has Standard DAC’s so I am not sure if I will need the Theta Basic II DAC.
In the mean time, how do I use my Sony DVP-NS900V as a transport with the Theta DAC? I am currently using a B&K reference 30 as a Pre/Pro and the Digital output is going to the DVD player for DTS and DD.
How would I configure this so I can use the DVD player for DTS/DD and use the Theta DAC for my Redbook CD’s on the same player? I figure I have to go into the DVD menu each time and change the Digital output from DD to PCM. Is that correct?
Should I use the DAC’s in the B&K Reference 30 instead of the Sony DVD player or the Theta Basic II? Do I sell the Theta Basic DAC II when I get the Casablanca II?
What do the experts think?
I am enjoying the upgrade rollercoaster ride, however, my wife is starting to catch on to my spending.
