Yes that is correct Mark the only reason to use the digital outs is to send a pure digital signal to a separate decoder of some sort. Otherwise your unit outputs the cd your playing or the cd in the Wadia through the analog outputs.
Need Help with CD/DAC setup
I'm looking at the Music Hall-cdac-15.3
On paper it looks like something I could be interesting in.
However, I'm having trouble understanding the dac setup.
I understand that the analog outs would connect to my amp and I could use the CD.
Here's where everything gets blurry for me. The dac portion has optical and coaxial inputs, where I could connect my Wadia transport. But it only has a single coaxial digital out. My amp only has L/R inputs.
Am I missing something or I simply can't utilize the music hall dac?
Thanks for any help.
