The problem is, this power amp doesn't have any RCA inputs. Only balanced XLR. Is it really risky? The RCA->XLR connectors are regular connectors, nothing self-made or diy. > From what your describing it might be auto sensing (hope its checking > ground also) and maybe its a function of how high the SB3 Volume is set > at when you turn the amp on.

I set SB volume to the lowest possible, and I also pause it always when turning on power amp. So there's no signal at all. Still the amp doesn't start. And if I connect it with a passive preamp in between, it starts fine. What could be wrong with SB outputs? The power amp must be definitely making some checks, because it will not start if nothing is connected to the inputs at all. But what could cause it, that with SB it thinks there's nothing connected? BTW. I'm just listening to the setup with this passive amp in between, so basically SB3 with a power amp and I really like the sound. -- azaz44 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azaz44's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81664 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
