Hi Porcupine and welcome here!Porcupine wrote:What is the output signal of the "TV out" when I feed the SC with a digital signal ( as my PVR has a digital out)?
I would expect the SC to send out any signal to the 'TV out' output, whether it's from an analogue or digital input. But I'm not 100% sure of this and don't have an SC to try it on at the moment. Maybe someone else can confirm?
If I'm right, the best thing is to do as Broccoli suggests: Use your SC as a source, DA converter and signal switch. Let the Kikkin handle the volume.
In your first post, I suspect you were considering connecting two preamps (Kikkin and SC) to the same inputs on a poweramp. This doesn't work, as the preamps will be playing into eachothers outputs. This will overdrive them both, with terrible sound and potential damage to the output stages (though I think it's unlikely that the Kikkin will break).
The simple rule is that an output should never be connected to another output, neither between sources, preamps or poweramps. In the case of two poweramps, they literally blow eachother up if their outputs are connected!
