The Classe Dac1 is the same as a CD player but without the ability to read a CD disc, therefore, you hook up the same as a CD player i.e. into your pre-amp's inputs. In order for the DAC-1 to function, you will need connect it to a digital source like a CD transport, digital streamer, computer etc. Just Google up "digital to analog converter" if you are still unclear on how it works.
How do I connect my Classe Audio DAC-1?
I currently have two (2) DR-8 amps in mono mode, a DR-5 pre amp, CD player and Apple TV connected to my TV and stereo. Just purchased a Classe Audio DAC-1. Wondering how I connect the DAC-1 to my current equipment. Do I connect all of my accessories (CD Player, Apple TV, etc.) to the Pre amp, then the pre amp to the DAC-1 and then the DAC-1 to the amps? This would allow all of my music to go through the DAC-1. Sorry for the silly question but this is all new to me.
Thanks.
Thanks.
