Hi guys,
Note: 1.Pardon any noob-ness shining through in this Query.
2.The Schiit line of products is only for illustration and I would be happy to get something else that is more value.
I'm looking for a solution to a simple problem and it seems to involve buying too much Schiit (or equivalent products)
I want to integrate a network streamer like the allo digione into my setup but then I end up with two sources and two outputs.
My Analog source is a Project turntable with RCA out.
And my Digital Source is intended to be a Allo Digione RPi Player with SPDIF out.
Active Speaker: Edifier S1000db (with two rca inputs+ one digital input +and one coax input + supports bluetooth aptx)
Headphones: Audio Technica M50X
Goal: I want to be able to listen using my active speakers from either source or through headphones from either source.
Is this the most elegant way ? : -
Turntable - Schiit Mani - Schiit Sys - Schiit Magni (rear rca out )- Active Speaker
Digital source - Schiit Modi - Schiit Sys - Magni (Front aux out) to Headphones
Using the sys I can switch source between digital and turntable (through dac and phonostage respectively)
And the Sciit Magni Heresy helps me switch output - outs to headphone when I plug into the front. Else defaults to active speakers via rear out. (? would it ?) (My headphone is a Audio Technica atm50x which actually doesn't need much power to be driven so can I skip the headphone amp in any way?)
I will also retain Echo dot separately chained for voice functionality and convenience connected to the empty rca input of active speaker.
Am I missing something ? Or do I need this much Schiit.? Too many small budget schiit boxes stacked up against me and the result is not really budget anymore . Is there a better solution like an integrated amp, that can combine these functions more elegantly and economically ?
I understand my system is humble and not very revealing, so I do not want to push to the deep end of the budget spectrum.
Schematics included below.
Thanks in advance.
