Hi all, first post. Glad I found a this reason based site. Thanks for all the great information.
Wondering if someone can offer some advice or suggestions:
After buying, then returning, an Arcam SA30 (which appeared to do everything I want on paper) I am looking to achieve the setup I mention in the subject line above.
Additionally (though I am possibly willing to give this up) I would like and eARC/ARC connection as well.
Here are two options I have thought about. Would love to hear more suggestions. Especially how/if I could replace the MiniDSP product with something else that offers Dirac Live for a lower cost?
MiniDSP SHD --> AUDIOPHONICS MPA-S250NC XLR = Done! (but no eARC and the SHD is not cheap)
BlueSound Node N130 --> MiniDSP SHD --> AUDIOPHONICS MPA-S250NC XLR = Done! (as above, but with eARC. - I would never use the DAC in the Node)
....or either of the above combinations with a MiniDSP Studio and external DAC in place of the SHD?
I guess what I am trying to create is a better version of a BlueSound Powernode
