| Great Pre/Pro with USB DAC? I have never used any of these gadgets so I cannot make any specific recommendations. Just be aware that devices that do the same job may not always do them equally well. So, your experience with the M-Audio Transit may not be predictive of what t... | |
| Great Pre/Pro with USB DAC? 1. There is no difference between the D2 and D2v with regard to USB inputs (neither have them) or other digital audio inputs (both have them).2. The M2Tech converts(!) USB to S/PDIF and will work with either Anthem or, indeed, any prepro with digi... | |

| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Thank you, smokester, for the clear explanation. It will not deter those with personal preferences, unfortunately.Kal | |
| What digital processor would be suitable? 1. Yes, a pre/pro is a receiver without amps and, often, without radio tuner. However, they are usually more expensive because of the smaller numbers produced/sold and because they may have higher quality components/design.2. You have no choice. M... | |
| biamping question And the OP should be grateful for it.Kal | |
| What digital processor would be suitable? The only ones that might fit your needs would be used Integra 9.8 or 9.9 or used Onkyo 885 or 886. These prepros will get you all the codecs and have RCA and XLR outputs. Nothing new will fit your budget.Another option, as long as all your devices... | |
