Hi all,
So I know that this is probably a very stupid question but I haven't been able to sort this out after reading through some of the forums. I just bought a V-DAC to improve output from a squeezebox and possibly from my CD player. To my understanding of things, the benefit of the V-DAC is to convert digital audio to analog and then send analog signal to the amplifier in my receiver which then goes to the speakers. What I'm confused about is how do I know which input to send the RCA output from the V-DAC to? Right now my set-up is squeezebox (optical)-->V-DAC (RCA)-->"TV input." (chosen because it's open) This should bypass any processing within the receiver right? I've read the manual for my stereo back to front (and back again) but I'm not clear on which inputs are processed and which are just amplified. I would think that all analog inputs are just amplified but I really don't know so I thought I'd ask.
If it helps
Receiver: Pioneer vsx-91txh
CD player Sony csc-CD595
I'm just interested in regular CD playback (I think SACD has to be direct in). I know this is a really basic question but any help is really appreciated. Thanks!
