I would disable the Altairs volume and just use the Luxman. It will sound better that way. You can use the tape input if you like or the aux or tuner inputs they will all work. Do not use the signal processing or phono inputs.
Auralic Altair into Luxman L-450 settings?
Gain structure is a mystery to me and I'd be grateful for any advice. I just hooked up my new Altair to my old Luxman L-450 and I am wondering: What are the optimal connections and settings? Right now I'm running the Altair output (streaming Roon) to the aux input and I have the Luxman volume knob set at about 10 o'clock, with the Altair at about 30 for regular listening. Should the Luxman go even higher and the Altair lower, or the other way around? I've tried both ways but the A B testing is hard. Also: What about the tape in or the "signal processing" in? (This is mostly for low volume listening.) Grateful for any advice!
