I've been looking at the pass through on the THX 789 but, best I can tell, this is unbalanced output from the DAC.
Does anyone make a DAC that can either send it's own signal to the unbalanced output or allow an unbalanced input to pass through?
The reason I ask is, I'd like to inject a DAC between my AVR and amplifier stack so that I can have DAC straight to amplifiers for 2 channel listening but still use the main speakers and amplifiers for home theater. I would imagine this is a problem most people have: wanting to cut out their AVR for sound quality when listening to 2 channel.
Perhaps there is a different way to solve this problem?
I might consider a manual unbalanced switch box but it would be nice if a DAC could automatically cut itself inline.
