I'm setting up a Krell KSA-250 amp with a KAV-250p preamp that has balanced inputs. My source is classical music from my cabel box. The box has optical and HDMI imbedded outputs.
What do I need between my cable box and my preamp?
Are you sure that your cable box doesn't have analog (rca) outputs as well? If not, probably the best way to go would be to get a DAC that has an optical input.
My box has an analog rca left & right out . It's a Cisco box from Bright House cable . If yours does not , I would go optical out to a DAC . I think that HDMI would be overkill for 2 channel audio .
