Thanks for your reply, When using my DAC, the connection with my RCA or analog sound the best as compared to using no DAC. When switching to either of the digital sources the sound marginally improves as compared to having no DAC at all. And you are correct, 'RCA to receiver AND digital to the DAC, which is then rca to the receiver'. Yes the volumes are equalized as I switch between analog to digital. The sound presence, clarity, tone, etc are much better in analog vs digital. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for your assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Johnnyg34's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57260 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96416 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
