So I would then just always keep it as "Eversolo" but I'd still be able to play the CD player under the "Eversolo" input, right?
That’s exactly right. Maybe renaming the Krell input to “Pontus” would be a little less confusing?
Can a DAC do double duty?
Hi All,
I have Eversolo streamer going to DENAFRIPS Pontus via USB. Then XLR’s from Pontus to my processor.
I have an older Pioneer Elite CD carousel which has coax. Can I go coax from CD player to Pontus, then Pontus to processor via RCA in’s on my processor?
Obviously I would be listening to either/or not at the same time. But is this doable? And if so does it do any harm to Pontus?
Thanks so much in advance!
Best Regards…
I’d think all you need is the one XLR connection from the Pontus to the processor and just switch inputs on the Pontus to toggle between the streamer and CD player. I’m guessing you’re looking at adding another RCA connection because you’d rather use the processor to toggle? Might be interesting to try both ways and see if you perceive any sonic differences. |
Sorry, my bad. You are correct and I meant one pair of XLR interconnects. Both your CD player and streamer should be able to flow through just the XLR interconnects from the Pontus (no RCA interconnects needed), and if the Krell is fully balanced that’s sonically probably the better way to go along with not having to potentially have to buy another pair of RCA interconnects. |
@burtlake Great and important info, and thanks for sharing — I was actually wondering about exactly that issue. OP, there’s the definitive answer to your initial question. |
