My current system was built around the fact that I have for years experimented with all manner of volume
controls with various DACs, and hated them all ,from Vishay ladders to silver wired TVC.
As when I removed them, the sound was so much better ( though too loud obviously ).
When Russ came out with the Buffalo 32 and the Volumite it seemed a match made in heaven, and so it has proved.
Now i want to go back in time and start using my records again.
Anyone got some advice on how to keep my existing layout but somehow integrate a Retro into the input.
The old Buffalo 32 drives self powered subs in SE and my M60 OTLs into Bastanis in Bal and i want to keep the digital
Volumite.
So - wierd it may be but after the Retro maybe I do A/D then run this thru Otto as I2S or SpDif into the Buffalo.
Currently I have a CDPro2 running I2S into Metronome.
A/D kits are available,and depending on the output maybe this needs to go into the Metronome via Otto as well.
Any ideas.
cheers

Well, you could certainly feed an A/D then process the I2S.

The issue then becomes, will you be happy with the sound of the input stage of the A/D and the A/D itself? Only one way to find out I guess.
