Unless something radical has changed in the TP's firmware that I'm unaware of, your proposed setup #1 will not work. You can't use the TP as a DAC for an external source *and* use its digital loop. Therefore, your two setups would have to be:
1. AE > DEQ > TP > Amp (using TP just as a DAC) 2. LMS > TP > DEQ > TP > Amp (using TP as source and DAC with digital loop) You'll need to use a different set of digital ins and outs for the two setups (eg. use Toslink in setup 1 and BNC or RCA in setup 2). I've not personally used the TP's digital loop, so I don't know how convenient it is to switch between the two setups. It is certainly simple to switch between using the TP as source or as a DAC when not using the digital loop, but what I don't know for sure is whether switching on the digital loop means it is always automatically engaged whenever the TP is selected as the source. Looking at the options in the LMS settings page for the TP's audio seems to imply it will just work that way. You'd also have the issue of switching the input on the DEQ: setups 1 and 2 wil require you to use different inputs on the DEQ, so switching between the two setups will require the DEQ to switch its input as well as switching the TP's mode of operation. (I'm assuming that the DEQ has all its digital outputs active simultaneously, although that may be a rash assumption of course. If it doesn't, then you'll have to switch the DEQ's output as well as input). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94592 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
