How does this handle 2 input sources? I wanted to use this for my PC (via USB) and my turntable (via line-in). Would that work?

It will only work with the external source to the headphones. You can go USB/Computer to your stereo amp and/or headphones. But if you use the audio inputs (instead of the usb inputs) to connect any external source then you can only listen with headphones. I was slightly let down my this fact but it wasnt too big a deal for me as I had other options.

That will work if you have a phono preamplifier between the turntable & the T1 (some turntables have a built in pre - you should check that to find out). However the line-in doesn't have access to the tube buffer so only the PC will be able to use that. It's possible a USB turntable could use the USB input & then it would go through the tube buffer. Most USB TT's have a built -in pre - however they are not usually thought of as particularly high level TT's. You would also have to switch between using the PC & the TT in that case.

There's a switch by the volume knob that switches between the USB and line sources. They won't play simultaneously.

no don't think so . no multi-pin input . but it will take a large usb drive of music .

I am not sure about this. I always assumed that it used the phono port for the line out and the usb was only for power. I bet that it is only for power, but maybe I might try the usb as the audio line out and update my answer. I doubt it will work though.

the only digital input is USB, with an asynchronous DAC, that works really nice...Thing is that USB ports on most computers are really bad in noise and power fluctuations... sooo.. solution is the Wyrd USB decrapifier, from Schiit.. works wonders.. personally owned and intensively tested and compared with CD player level of sound fidelity (in fact sounds fantastic)As for the DVD coax, or sorts, you can use receiver's analog RCA inputs without any fear, they are excellent and I bet you will never feel a difference from coax, optical, HDMI, or anything else...

This amp only has one phono preamp. To connect two turntables would require an external phono preamp for the second turntable. The amp has plenty of inputs.

Yes that's exactly what it does. Just make sure you have another cable to run into the device from the turntable.

I really doubt it.I don't believe the Tascam driver could handle two of these at the same time on two different USB ports. And then there is the Cubase software running on top of that.

Dave there is not a dedicated Phono input. If you want to hook up a turntable you would need to get a pre-amp. I don't think they are very expensive.

No it will not work, because you only can dedicate one USB connection as your default playback device. But you can do what you want with only one unit by using a microphone splitter to attach to the (RED) hole and connect the other end to the two microphones. You can use a splitter like " RLCAB095 - Stereo Audio Input Splitter". Google it.

You should be able to. I have it set up with one line out (to AUX IN jack on my stereo), four lines in (one each for CD player, turntable, TV and Sirius/XM radio) and one not being used. You also can "mix" any number of inputs at one time, so you can also have multiple outputs as well. One of the other commenters here is doing exactly that.

The unit has the older USB input. Not the micro USB. It does sound nice when you connect it to a PC as it takes over from the PC's built in sound card. It also has a "headphone" type input. I like the 2 headphone jacks for output as both my wife & I can listen to music or a movie I might have on a table while on a plane.

Yes, I believe you could through the auxiliary inputs, since turntables are not considered very much, in the digital age. I do hope it works.

What you want to do is what this amp accommodates. You can use both inputs at the same time. I love mine.

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

Normally you would not wire 2 output devices to a 1 input device but since the output devices are passive (I assume) mics, then they will just mix together at the computer input jack via the splitter cable. Your biggest problem will be balancing the 2 mic signals to your satisfaction since there is no control on the 2 mics.

Hi, this unit does not "mix" the inputs via the USB input and it does not do so via the headphone/line outs. You can blend the two input sources in your recording software if it has the ability to select the input source from either left or right on each track. If your software records both tracks at once (stereo) you can still blend them using the balance control.More succinctly, you can't mix or blend these two inputs to one discreet channel either left or right from the device itself. This would be something you would do within your recording software.

Yes, there is a source button under the display next to the power button that switches between input sources. I have my desktop and laptop attached and switch between them. The only limitation I have found is you can only have one PC hooked up to the USB to the display for touch support, so only one pc can utilize the touch capabilities. No worries for me since I do not use touch on my laptop.
