Query on TC-7533 Bushmaster DAC

[Marco]

Hi guys,

Just a quick one to check something, as I'm pretty sure it isn't possible, but just wanted to check... I'm trying to use my Bushmaster as a standalone headphone amp, by connecting it to my Croft preamp via its tape outputs, in order to listen to my turntable through it.

Problem is, there are no analogue INPUTS on the Bushmaster, in order to connect the outputs from the Croft, only outputs... And the only inputs are digital ones!

So I'm presuming that the Bushmaster can't be used in that way, and only as a headphone amp via a digital input? Or could the unit [Stan, perhaps you could help?] be converted to take an analogue input as well?:)

All advice/suggestions gratefully received!:cool:

Marco.

Don't all rush now to tell me it's not possible!:ner:;)

Analog-to-digital converter?

Good shout, guys. Didn't think of that, as I've never needed to use such a device before!:)

Wouldn't hurt though for Stan to include BOTH analogue inputs and outputs on the Beresford... For those of you who've used an ADC, do you find that adding another interface/bottleneck for the signal to negotiate affects the sound?
