Re: Need help with integrattion of 2 channel & HT; what needed equipment wise?

Hi,

I had the same problem and came up with a really nice solution....

I connect my DVP-S999ES directly to a passive-pre (VPC-1 from Channel Island Audio) and from there to a PS Audio HCA-2 amp. When i want to use the system for HT, the digital out from SCD999ES goes to my Denon 3805 and the pre-outs for the front channels go to the 2nd input on the passive pre (which i completly de-attenuate)..... The output from the 999ES is high enough and the input impedence on the HCA-2 is perfect for a 10KOhm potentiometer....

I am currently taking this one step further.... CI Audio is modding my VPC-1 so that the input from the SACD player is attenuateable, yet once switched to the input from the receiver it acts as a direct pass-through and by-passes the attenuator.... perfect for those of us who want the minimalist approach to our 2 channel audio yet integrate the system into Home Theater...
