Yes still here!
Not at home at the moment so cannot answer you questions precisely but this is what I recall doing: The NAC72/Hi-cap is located in a study in the loft next to my PC. I don't have a power amp up there, just a Naim "Headline" headphone amp connected to the "tape" socket on the NAC72. The cable from the Hi-cap to the PC (M-Audio 2496) is a 4 pin DIN to 2 x RCA. At flashback sales it is this one: http://www.flashbacksales.co.uk/acatalog/naim-4pin-din-phono-rca-cable.html Take care to choose the right length! In my case this goes into the Hi-cap "Socket 3" that would normally feed the power amp. The level of this is controlled by the volume control on the pre-amp. I needed to do this because the tape-out from the NAC72 is fixed at too low a level to drive the 2496 input properly. >From the Hi-cap instructions it would appear that "Socket 2" is identical to "Socket 3" in that it carries both channels and is assumed to drive a power amp so you could connect the PC to that. However, if you are recording with the power amp switched on (not recommended) you will be adjusting the sound level while you adjust the recording level! "Socket 1" on the Hi-cap is labelled as "aux output" so I assume it is a line level fixed output designed to go to a headphone amp or similar. This should also work but being a fixed output you need to be careful that the output is high enough to drive the 2496.
