Is this switchable among the inputs (like the Peachtree Dac iT, for example)? I want to be able to convert from multiple digital sources.

Yes it is. I have both an optical input and a USB input and I am able to switch between the two. Occasionally, I have to switch it off to get the signal light, but that's only happened a couple of times. I cannot answer as to how it responds if you have all 3 inputs in, as to whether it only selects the one that is "on".

This receiver can convert your input sound to whatever output you need. For example, you can convert 2.0 input from an audio CD to 7.1, 7.0, 6.1, 6.0, 5.1, 5.0, 4.1, 4.0, or whatever other combination you need down to 2.0.

Hello,Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path. Based on that, it has digital inputs (2 digital optical, 2 digital coaxial, 1 AES/ EBU, and 1 USB) and no analog inputs. So unfortunately you would not be able to run an analog input into the DAC. If your SACD player does have one of the digital ports, you can connect it out of the CD player into the XDA-2. If you are wanting to run the XDA-2 into the SACD player I am unaware if that is possible, you will need to check with your SACD player manufacture to confirm.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope you have a great rest of the day. Hello,Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path.

You would need a DAC - Digital to Analog Converter. There are TONS of these available but this is not one of them.

I asked Sonos support a somewhat similar question regarding using their DAC. If you don't care for the DAC in the Connect, you can always use the digital optical out on it (this bypasses its own internal DAC) and send it to whatever DAC you'd like for the conversion. Basically, as long as you aren't using any analog connection out, it stays digital and you can do whatever you'd like with it.

It does have that option. There is a quick switch button on the front of the device that swaps between the two. I did attempt to use this feature once with another amp for stereo but it didn't seem to get a signal (my amp is extremely unreliable and fairly old)

Yes. The unit will output any of the 4 inputs to it's output (and what ever you have connected there).Note: Even though you can input one signal type and out put another, it doesn't do real signal conversion, so sticking with the same format input and output is recommended.

Easy. Just connect the audio cables from the output on the DAC to one of the inputs on the amp. I kept my CD connected to the CD inputs on amp, and my DAC is connected to the tuner inputs. That way I can switch back and forth.

The headphones can only use one input at a time. You could have the optical (digital) and the RCA jacks (analog) plugged in at once but only one can have activity. There is not a switch to select which input is to be used. You can get an additional switch box for either type of those inputs if you need or like. Note that there is a switch on the headphone tower for attenuating a analog signal (0db/-8db) which could be needed for some analog sources but not all. In that case you would have to switch two switches when changing from analog sources. Also note that the surround effect is not as pronounced or awesome until you use the digital complex input.

No switching is involved. The device takes a single audio input and provides to output signals. Both are identical to the audio input.

I have never tried this, it doesent work like a transfer cable in that manner it is anc converter from analog to digital music.

The switch is designed for one a source and two devices to feed the source. This switch will allow you to connect a CD player, MP3 player, PC headset 3.5mm cable, et cetera for stereo sound into the back on the switch and have your headphones and speakers on sides A and B to switch between the output of sound. Meaning no sound out of the B port if A is selected or vise versa so only one sound output to a single device. Edit: Though you might be able to use a Y splitter cable to produce what your are wanting. Two sources into one output upon switching. However, the problem with using a Y splitter with two sources is usually one source overpowers the other and the other is dampened out by the other. Ultimately making the Y split useless even when two sources are not used at the same time.

Yes, it would be good for that. It's just a passive mechanical A/B switch. I use it to switch 2 different sources into the one set of headphones. It can work to switch one source (like your headphone preamp) to two different headphones, or visa versus.

If you get some male/female converters, you can plug the input wire into your speakers, and plug in the inputs from the computers into the "speaker" and "headphone" outputs on the switch. Then you can toggle between the computers. It can be done, but you might have to deal with converters for the 3.5mm plugs.

No you cannot. The device has 4 inputs, but only 2 can be used simultaneously.

No, I don't think the audio jack (analog sound) will convert to the digital 4 wire bus (power, ground, and two data), unless your audio device has a convertor built-in. I tried this going from the usb to the audio jack, but couldn't find any convertor nor a software driver to perform this task. Hope this helps.

You could wire it up and use it with an ac to dc converter. However seeing as how this only allows for two input channels, I think I would get something more specific for a household equalizer to save you time and hastles.
