Great, thanks. I think I'm still going to have to run RCA from pre-amp to DSPs unless/until I upgrade the pre-amp.

I'm running one of those TubeDAC combos at the moment... no XLR's.

I guess I'm going to end up with two stacks of electronics... probably DSP on the bottom (Ian says that should be OK), then ADA1500, then CD player on top of one ADA1500.

The TubeDAC doesn't have a phono input so I figure I'll move the turntable and HK receiver into the basement, hook up the MP5s there, and use that for ripping/playing LPs. At some point I guess I'm going to have to go look for a gadget that streams from the PC into the pre-amp.

I see why kids just play music on their phones laugh

EDIT: OK, plan B. I ordered a basic Pro-Ject phono pre-amp, plus an acrylic platter so I can install the moving coil cartridge I bought about 10 years ago. Now I can have a turntable on top of the other DSP/ADA1500 stack.

Might end up wishing I had a subsonic filter somewhere in the path... we'll see.
