Hello all,
Have been lurking through various HT forums for some time but new to Club Rotel. I have learnt much and have improved my system greatly with the advice I've learnt. However, I am looking to upgrade within a limited budget, and a limited physical space and wish some advice. This question relates mostly to 2ch Music as I am quite happy with 5.1 ATM.
Firstly, my system:
CD: Rotel RCD971 into
AVR: Rotel RSX1055 (v 2.5.5)
Mains: Kef Q3 floor standing
Sub: Kef PSW1000.2
I have been thinking for a while about adding a RB1070 (1080 if I can afford it) to help lift my music which, while still great, is noticable 'muddy'. Since reading this forum, I learnt how to lift it some by using analogue bypass with the 1055 using the Multi Input and noticed a vast improvement in the clarity and sweetness of music.
So my question is,
Since the Multi input bypasses the HT circuitry, does the 1055 pre-out still work if I plug it into the 1070 (1080)?
If not, do I have to revert to the CD input on the 1055 and therefore lose some of the improvements gained by analogue bypass even if I plug into the 1070? (as no matter how good the 1070, the source is still routed via the same circuitry in the 1055)
One day I would love to 'go seperate' as audio is my major concern over HT, although I still wish to keep HT obviously. However, cash and size constraint pretty much limit me to 'one more box', integrated into the current system.
Your knowledge and assistance is greatly appreciated.
