@soix: Thanks for a coherent respone. I need to handle:
- 3 or 4 analog sources
- drive 20ohm headphones (with or without an external HP amp
- drive an active or passive sub
- provide an HT-bypass input, preferably balanced
- deliver SQ in a class with Hegel, Ayre, etc., models in the same price range. A step above the HiFi Rose / Musical Fidelity MSx realm
@elliottbnewcombjr Uh, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I asked a completely different question -- are you in the right conversation?
Re: Coda, I have a lot of respect for the old Continuum product line, but it doesn’t look like the CSIB is a contender here, for more than one of the reasons already mentioned. Too bad, b/c it’s a nice box for the money.
