Wadia, Benchmark Questions..
I hooked up my Wadia 170i transport to my Benchmark DAC1 using the supplied co-axle cable. I then connected the Benchmark using the analog RCA output to the tape input on my Tandberg TR1050 Receiver. Sounds great. This model receiver has an extra set of RCA jacks on the back labeled Pre-out and Main In. I was wondering if I could bypass the receiver's pre- amp and just use the power amp? A new amp is coming but this set-up will have to do for now.
Also, I was wondering why the Blue Light on the Wadia does not light up when I'm playing the iPod? Am I not getting a digital signal? I tried hitting the mode button and re-inserting the iPod but it has yet to light up. Any thoughts would be helpful.
