Hello all.
I have an Arcam rDac at home connected to my Rotel 1570/1077 combo.
Connected to the Arcam via toslink is an Apple TV 1st generation. The analog output of the Arcam is connected to the Rotel input via RCA cables.
Now for my questions....
I want to get a true comparison of using the Arcam Dac vs the internal Burr Browns of the Rotel. I don't want to use the D/A converter in the Rotel at all for this comparison.
What is the difference of using the bypass input (7.1 analog input) VS using the tape input with bypass selected? Is there a difference? Furthermore, if I select "Stereo" mode when using the tape input, does that engage the internal Burr Brown DAC?
What would be the difference if WHEN USING THE 5.1 Bypass connection, I turned on LFE re-direct. Does this engage the Burr Brown DAC?
Sometimes I like to use my B&W ASW675 sub when listening to 2 channel audio. I guess what I really want to know is, is this possible using just the rDac DAC and not the Rotel also?
Thanks guys for all your help.
