@erock79 I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but I wonder if having both XLRs and RCAs plugged in at the same time was somehow affecting the impedance of the source as seen by the amp. In other words they may have been rated very differently, and even if they had the same rating, in parallel, they may have appeared to be much less to the amp. Then there is the issue of how the XLR cables were wired, signal ground on pin 3 and/or chassis ground to the shell, etc. etc.
can I connect 2 sources directly to power amp (one XLR one RCA)
I'm currently running a Lumin D2 direct to the XLR connection on my Anthem MCA 225 GEN 2
would I run into any issues if I simultaneously hook up my bluesound node to the rca inputs?
I'd like to A/B the sources and also use the HDMI on the bluesound for tv
