I have a pair of Audioengine A5 speakers that I am very pleased with. Problem is that they only have RCA inputs. I would like to attach the following items using a preamp (?) of some sort:

• Mac Mini
• Radio with a rec out or headphone out (specifically this: http://www.amazon.com/Sangean-CL-100.../dp/B003QHXZM4 )
• Apple TV2
• Insignia TV with non variable analog out and optical out

The only thing I have been able to find that costs around $200 and will suit my needs is this:

Does this sound like a good solution or would you recommend something else? I don't want a bulky receiver. I am trying to keep audio equipment as inconspicuous as possible.


Thanks, Dan

Looks like a good option to me.


Only thing missing that would be nice is remote controlled volume and input switching.

What you need is a preamp...

I've considered the Grant Fidelity Tube DAC-09 and well suited for your needs. From a little research, it seems to be a very good piece of equipment with excellent customer service and technical support.


The Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 seems to be nearly the same as the GF Tube DAC-09 but, as mentioned, better customer support with the GF.
