| Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC My Pure Audio Lotus DAC5 has 7 inputs. 2 coax, 2 optical, 1 USB, 1 11S/DSD, and 1 AES/EBU. Selection is by remote.

| Solid state to tube Difficult to go past ARC if it's in your budget. Otherwise Belles, Dehavilland, Cary or Aesthetix come in cheaper. I have an Aesthetix Calypso pre into an EAR 534 amp a combination which works well with my ML electrostatics. The sound is tube but ... | |
| RCA is loose @clearthinker Can you explain this. When I connect any of my 3 amps to the pre using XLR connectors there is an audible hiss through either Elac bookshelf speakers or ML electrostatics. When I use RCAs dead silence. So how is this crummy non audio... | |
