DCC2 with Hard Drive, Subwoofer?

Great info -- out of curiosity, where did you get the Y-connector? Do I understand you correctly to say that it is a balanced interconnect from DCC2 to your amp, but the Y splits off to a single ended interconnect for your subwoofer?

I read it again. I think I get it. Y connector with the Two RCA end going into the DCC2's L & R RCA outs and One RCA end going into the SUBWOOFER, so that the low frequencies from the DCC2's L & R would go to the powered Sub.

Then, XLR's from the DCC2's L & R to your amplifier's L & R channels.

Am I right?

RM -- I am in Marin County. Oakland is just across the Richmond San Rafael bridge. It'd be interesting to bring my Apogee Mini-Dac over and A/B it with the
DCC2. The Apogee has XLR outs.

That's right. The sub cable is a Nordost Bassline and the Y connector is a stock Nordost Bassline Y connector for this kind of application. For what it's worth, EMMLabs recommended this set up to feed a signal to the sub.
