Hello. Have a question about connecting various devices to the Dac / Can combo, especially external stereo speakers (non-balanced).
So the Can does not have a dedicated stereo output for speakers - just rear balanced output for balanced, active speakers. I know that there is front single ended output (also with balanced one) but these I want to use only for headphones.
What about Dac? It have balanced and analogue (RCA) output. Let's assume that dac is connected with Can via balanced cable. Can the RCA output of DAC be used to power external speakers in this case? There is no output selector on DAC - can these outputs work simultaneously?
My current setup is:
- my speakers are connected to the PC monitor which transfers audio data from my computer and my console - PC via mDP, Xbox via HDMI; speakers are connected with 3,5 mm stereo cable,
- sometimes I am listening the music from my computer using speakers,
- when I want to listen the music from my computer with headphones I am connecting my Lotoo Paw S1 directly to computer and headphones to Lotoo,
- speakers are Creative T20 II with aux input and headphones output.
I want to have all these connections throught the iFi's. Is it possible with Zen Can and/or Zen Dac?
