Setup question
Thanks @mesch ...the advice is very much appreciated. I'll update you once the psb's are hooked up but so far so good. 
Setup question
@mesch  That's a great idea..I may have to start doing that as well to really learn what's out there. I'm blessed to have two extremely good vintage audio stores within 30 minutes of my house as well. It's made this whole mission significantly eas... 
Setup question
@mesch i just ordered the dac a couple hours ago.. Cant wait to get it set up.. The speakers are Ok.. I found a local listing for psb stratus minis for 175..which is significantly less than any other pricing ive seen.  The same seller has stratus ... 
Setup question
@mesch dual rca analog (its a uverse box if youre familiar) 
Setup question
@mesch thank you again for the help..and everybody else as well. The cable box actually has optical and rca out so that's not an issue. I'm more concerned with either/both the optical out from the TV for the apps or the optical out from my Xbox fo... 
Setup question
@cerrot sorry..wasn't sure what you meant with your response. Which solution would you go with for HT/TV Audio to achieve that. 
Setup question
@mesch yeah-i took the ht receiver out foe now and im running only phono and cd from the nad.  It sounds fantastic.  If i were to use the NAD exclusively, is there a good way to convert optical to rca? I feel like the $20 adapter on amazon is a ba... 
Setup question
@mesch The reason using optical from the cable box is a big deal is that I run Plex more than I ever watch cable..and the cable box doesn't have apps, or specifically the Plex app. I'll play around with different configurations. Dialogue in movies... 
Setup question
@reubent Thank you for the advice. I think I'm going to try that and see how it goes for a little while..It's not a big room anyway. A 7.1 or Atmos system would take up more room than the furniture so 2 channel might be the best way. 
Setup question
@mesch Gotcha-i thought you were saying to avoid the AVR for phono..ultimately, the AVR is becoming a pain in my ass anyway.  My TV and xbox only have optical outs and the optical in on the AVR doesnt recognize the signal.  Ive played with all the... 
Setup question
@mesch ...meaning, switching between using the HK for 5.1 and the NAD for phono 
Setup question
@mesch No offense taken..that was pretty much the root of my question. On a technical basis, switching the towers between the NAD and the HK, would you use banana plugs and plug them into the system being used at the time, or use a switch? Some pe... 
Setup question
@mesch It's a Rotel..I fogot the model. The cartridge is an Ortofon Red. 
Setup question
@bradf ..Thank you for the help..I'll start experimenting :) 
Setup question
@reubent ..The HK is an AVR 125. As far as I can tell, no pre outs for L&R channel. The NAD is integrated. The model is NAD 3225. The NAD has a built in phono pre-amp for sure. And thank you for taking the time to check this out.
