    Which preamp should I take ?

    NO. As I replaced the cable on the preamp, it did not work either. Blame, what is this. My REGA amp stood mute. DAC comes in the REGA headphone amp, and links to the preamp tuner. So I retried the DAC straight in the c375 , mute out, although the REGA does not connect with the amp. But mute out...

    Which preamp should I take ?

    Do not understand me wrong. On the REGA too, I connect to the tuner socket of the PREAMP, not the receiver. It works both using the preamp. When you this should work . What then ? If I connect straight into the c375 it DOES NOT work. Do not know why. Of course the Internet is all about the built...

    Which preamp should I take ?

    Thank you. Another question. In my 2 setups, the Nads and a REGA config, I use DACs. The DACs hook up in the tuner socket of the preamp, and that is it. Yes, my REGA headphone amp gets the DAC input first, and has a lead to the tuner on the preamp. But what in case I suspend the preamp, so that...

    Which preamp should I take ?

    Thanks for replying. It is the 1020 exactly, which is the preamplifier from the vintage 2000 series. He does his job very well actually, better than the c326bee... But yes the c375 is an integrated amp. It should be a power amp to benefit from a preamp. I preamped the Rega Elicit R too...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    Please leave the elicit r out. He does not play a part. Yes, in the beginning I thought of using the ear with the Rega. But I stated clearly, that I spend most of my time with the Nads. Ok !? And If I want to play a casette ? Haha. Well, the rca splitter will devide connections between tape...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    If you really read carefully, I only mention the Nad system. No rega. I explained the components. If the nad 1029 has 2 preouts, and I use them both to hang to nad amplifiers behind, is this too much. My equipment stands on a woiden cabinet, photos will show you cables and cables... I did my...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    As to attaching photos, I am not such a wizzard. What I do find, is all rear photos on the internet images. You need a rear photo of. The 1020 nad preamp. The cables were still connected vertically in those days. Advantage, it has 2 preouts to drive the next. The c326bee Nad integrated amp The...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    Feeds it back into the preamp. Do not understand. I mean selecting tape button on the preamp outputs the stram to the amps, same way as the aux button generates vinyl to the amps. Feedback to the preamp ! No idea. In general, the devices with no digital output, go in the preamp sockets, rca ...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    Ok, yes. But the tape out is occupied by the poweradd, a streaming convertor, he takes streams in from a pc or ipad, and feeds it to rhe preamp. The aux is taken by the nad po2. The 1020 nad oreamp has no more inputs apart from the phono amp. Or I put a splitter from the ear to the tape, and...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    Only I have 1 disadvantage. There are 2 devices which do not pass over the dac, but are directly connected to the dac. The turntable of course and a streaming device, which captures spotify but has no digital outputs. So this one goes to the tape socket of the preamp. As the ear is connected to...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    I managed it with the three Nad amps, 1 being the preamp. Dac >> input Ear. Link Ear >> tuner preamp (or any free socket). Previously the dac went directly to the tuner. Selecting options on the dac with tuner in on the preamp. Now, I make a tour over the Ear. Volume knob on the preamp is...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    Hi, Thanks for your reply. But I use a windows laptop. Not connected to the hifi, standalone. But now, my Hifi problem still not resolved. I used a tip from the Whathifi site. I connected the DAC to the input of the Ear and the LINK of the ear to the AUX of the amp. I know I am still not...

    Rega Ear MkII. On a laptop any good ?

    Hi, I use my headphone, hifiman 500, primarily on a laptop. Now, using the Rega as a preamp to the signal from the laptop, apparently does not give much difference in sound. So, is it worth the hassle with power supply cables and sit with the Rega Ear in a seat, considering the small or no...

    Rega ear any good on a laptop or macbook with spdif out

    Hi, I use the heAdphone primarily on the laptop. But I do not hear significant sound quality. Is it so that the hifi installation is the best place for the Ear. If this is so, the little handbook is very unclear on how to connect the ear in this country nstallation. I mean, I have the audiolab...

    Dilemma : Where to install my HiFi installation

    Thanks for liking my setup(s). Perhaps, if you would have to choose, between the Rega elicit r amp, preamped by the audiolab 8200c, apollo cd, Rega DAC and GATO pm-6 speakers (if you know these, not sure).... And the full NAD setup with PMC and advance acoustic. Well what would be your choice ...

    Dilemma : Where to install my HiFi installation

    Thank you. It is just, well, driving at a quarter of its capacity is a bit frustrating. Allthough volume is not the issue. I suppose powerful amps and speakers also mean more quality at lower volumes.  And you are right. I will not feel happy there... also having all my vinyl, cds...

    Rega Ear Headphone amp - questions?

    Hello, Thank you for your reply. The DACs I mentioned all are installed in a HIFI architecture. On the macbook I do not have a DAC yet. In fact I use the EAR on a Windows 7 DELL 5000 laptop, with a realtek sound card. So now I branch a jack 3.5 in the DELL and the other end L/R in the input...

    Hello guys, I am glad to be able to write a new thread at last. Now, it could be parts are described elsewhere, but the topic makes it hard to keep searching all the threads for my "problem". Here we go. I have and had as first amplifier the c326bee by NAD. I decided to preamp him with the NAD...

    Topping TP30 initial impressions, warning, and repair impressions

    Hello, I got a topping D3 DAC. But I messed the power supply up, as the chinese adapter needed conversion to european standards. As my conversion connector got stuck in a plugging box, I still tried to push the d3 adapter in the messed up converter, and fire came out of the adapter. The toppings...

    List of DACs that work with iPad

    Thanks for the list. I use an external Dac , the mdx-600 from Advance Acoustic. It is not so well known, but all my devices go into this Dac. My question is. My Dac as any other Dac accepts coaxial and optical, and usb inputs. Does the ipad mini 2 has an optical output like the macbooks ? If...
