Hi. I'm thinking about having a META built in the next few months to year and I'm curious about the setup with the CD player. I'll initially be using a PCDP so that's no problem. However, eventually I would like to get a home CDP and an integrated amp for use with speakers. Would I be able to use the same META then? I did a search on this subject and I found that some ppl have used the tape/loop out on the integrated amp. I guess this long story is to ask if it would be better (SOUND better) to use that loop out option or to perhaps have the META build with a line out/ pre-out? Thanks everyone for your help and enjoy your headphone listening!

PS All the good CDPs in my price range (<500 USD)seem to only have one analog output so the option of two lineouts from the source doesn't work.

Have you tried the vampire splitters? Do they degrade the sound much?

Yes. I have several in my system. IMO, they are the most transparent splitters available.

Highly recommended!

I'll second RickG. They are well built and very transparent.

Thx everybody for your comments. I think I'll use the splitters. Maybe by the time I get around to buying that system (about a year or two a cheap "audiophile" CDP will come with two line outs for us head-fi guys. Thx again.
PS. I saw that some other guy just asked a very similar question about his home theater reciever [gasp

] I guess this concept is hard for us newbies.

It is fairly easy to have a line out built into your META. Mine has this feature, and that is what I use it for.

Click on the META in my sig for specs and pictures of mine.
Tangent made it for me.
