Anyone know if the 789 can output from the front balanced headphone output and SE pass on the back simultaneously? Would like to rip vinyl via SE pass while listening from the front.

SE pass will only work with SE input, so if that's the case it'll work yes.Anyone know if the 789 can output from the front balanced headphone output and SE pass on the back simultaneously? Would like to rip vinyl via SE pass while listening from the front.

Thanks folks.Yes. If rca is plugged in from source it comes out of the pass thru regardless even if the unit is off. There is no selecting which front output is used, both go at the same time.
The one thing I haven't tested is if the SE pass thru works even if xlr input is selected, but that's not a relevant question in your case.
Thanks folks.
Yep would look like this: ART DJ PREII RCA OUT>789 SE INPUT>789 SE PASS via RCAto3.5mm>PC input on soundcard
I'd assume the SE PASS follows the volume control, or does it have a set output volume?
Nooooo- its just a loop out from the RCA input- its not a pre amp - doesnt touch the amplification circuits- same voltage as whatever comes in from your source (and like I say, it still works if the 789 is powered off)

Just to be clear, I don't know if the rca signal is passed thru if the xlr inputs are selected. So you may not be able to listen to the modius whilst looping out the rcaThanks again for the clarification. This would be a perfect fit for my needs then. Now just to find the right DAC..was thinking pairing it with a Modius as it seems the best balanced DAC for the price.

Thanks again for looking out. I won't need to use the SE pass through with the balanced inputs. I'll only need to use the SE pass with the SE input from my phono preamp, which is what I understand is how it works. I'll be using the balanced connections for the digital inputs (USB and Coax) connections and will only need the headphones for those.
Just ordered the 789 from Amazon, my first purchase towards a reference headphone setup!
The 789 arrived today and had a couple question for anyone that owns one:
1) There is an audible buzz, which I assume is a grounding issue, from the turntable SE input. Not noticeable during music, but definitely noticeable before the music starts. FWIW if I place my fingers on the SE inputs around back and my other hand on top of the 789, it essentially eliminates the buzz.
2) The volume knob has an audible rub, and resistance from around 11 - 1, so much so, I can't adjust the volume with 1 finger roll, which I can do outside of the 11 -1 range.
I purchased the 789 "Like New" from Amazon, so I'm wondering if this particular unit was returned for the same reason. I already put in for a return/refund with Amazon, mainly for the volume knob, but thought I'd ask if anyone else experienced the same thing.
Thanks,
David
I did just that. Brand new one arriving today.Return it, it's obviously broken. Mine was new from drop and had no issues.
That must be true. Oh well... thanks for the reply.I always thought they are only pass through outputs for RCA inputs.
