I am a first batch Caiman owner and enthousiast. My Caiman is connected (via coax) with a Squeezebox which is the source of 90% of the music I listen to.
I now want to connect my Pioneer DV-656 (DVD) player to the Caiman, which plays SACD, DVD-A, CD and DVD, and I am thinking about how to best connect it to my dac.
Obviously when I play SACD I have to use the current 5 IC's it uses now, since the DVDP uses only the analogue output.
When I watch DVD's my player now uses a coax out to my Yamaha (RX-V1300) receiver, which gives me the 5.1 sound to my speakers. I guess I can't use the Caiman to do the digital to analogue conversion, because then my receiver would only receive a 2 channel sound instead of a 5.1 since the Caiman is only connected with the receiver by a set of IC's. Am I right?
I guess if I want to listen to CD's through the Caiman, I have to connect my DVDP with an optical cable to my Caiman (because the coax output is already taken by the DVD source).
Ergo, I guess I have to connect my DVDP with the following outputs:
- SACD: 5x IC to my receiver;
- DVD: coax to my receiver;
- CD optical to my Caiman.
Am I correct? :scratch:
