I will gather my remaining questions here. Maybe someone else than Frans can answer them.
My DAC (Tone Board) has only one output, but I own two amplifiers I want to feed. There are three options I can think of:
1. use the Atom as a preamp
2. feed the input of the bridged O2 directly out again (like the Stax amplifiers)
How exaclty can I do that? Are there any disadvantages, if I just wire the inputs directly to the outputs? Probably reduction of signal if both amplifiers are on?
3. put the Tone Board in the bridged O2 case and solder wires to the analog outputs and connect the Atom to the soldered sockets
Reduction of signal again?
Is it important that the Gain and Power switch wires are as short as possible? I want to put the Gain switch at the back of the case.
Another cool idea would be to get a Topping D10 and mount it inside the chassis and put the sample rate panel to the front of the case
