    Headphone amp issue w/digital connections!!

    Hey all, tonight....I just tried to listen to a concert using my headphone amp via my Rotel amp using my tape out's via my Rotel's digital inputs and it does not work!. Why??. Does the Rotel not covert the digital signal to analog or must I connect everything via it'a analog out's to use the headphone amp via the tape out output??. ARGH !!! :roll:

    Head <==> Headphone Amp <==> Rotel Tapeout <==> Rotel Digital Input <==> Source
    Is that what you mean? If so, that shouldn't work because the tape out is usually just a bridge from the analog inputs. It does not get processed.
    Yes, the Rotel does do D to A, but the tape out is usually just a bridge on the same circuit board as the rest of the analog inputs.

      RATS !!. Now I've got to get a pile of RCA cables to wire my Oppo dvd and PS3 to the Rotel in analog. You would figure that the Rotel would convert the digital signal for the tape outs???. Sheesh!! :roll:

        Idea for headphone use with PS3 !!??
        by madmac
        I send my PS3 audio signal to my Rotel using an optical cable. I quickly learned that these digital connections and the sound that the receiver decodes from them will not be transferred to the analog tape outs of the unit so I could hook my headphone amp to it. The PS3 of course does not have analog...

I have 5 cable outs of 5 channels (RCA audio) outputs going to amp, but need to have additional 2 channel outs to the TV so I can have amp system off for quite viewing. My question is, when I set record and zone outs to Video1, I get...

        1068 question-cd- analog/digital inputs
        by RoMan
        Hi all,

        Maybe a silly question.

        My cd player is hooked up both by analog cables and an optical cable to my RSP 1068. When I go to the input menu for Listen:CD I set it to Optical 2. Ok, I then go and play a cd. When I'm in PCM 2 CH mode I cannot choose Bypass or stereo...
