jp11801 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 dude as stated get TRS to RCA adapters then plug them into the 1/4 jacks located in the center of the unit labeled line/monitor out then get a firewire 400/800 cable then open bottle of wine and rock the fuck out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 My intoxicated post was rhetorical in nature, I am not that far gone as yet. Since I have a Presonus Central station I am way long TRS connectors, though not enough Nugget Audio TRS connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Exdactly. I want full disclosure and transparency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 lol dinny isnt' up to date on headcase dacses he should probably check his closets, he may even have DACses he doesn't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) I posted full disclosure a week ago hidden in the shopping thread, but technically it is not up and running yet despite JP#'s prodding and cajoling. I am a little slow in that regard plus I need to find another TRS>TRS pair laying around here somewhere to dial in my pre amp. JP#s just told me about a shortcut using the two plugs in the back, who knew? Edited December 21, 2009 by Augsburger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 JP#s just told me about a shortcut using the two plugs in the back, who knew? Dude, I told you about this in an email some 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Oh, those two (1/4) plugs....... and you thought I was exaggerating when I said I was "challenged". I still need to get a dedicated Mac source now it appears my daughter's idea of sharing is during the hours of 2-6am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just for reference -- all those 1-8 things are intended for breakout cables, 8 channels each. So you don't need to worry about that unless you want to do multi-channel something-or-other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 multi-channel, or multiple inputs to use it as a preamp (which is how I'd use it, btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 multi-channel, or multiple inputs to use it as a preamp (which is how I'd use it, btw) I assume that this would be passing through the ADC and then back out the DAC?

Dreadhead Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just making sure I still want one but I'm not buying a mac so I won't get one. That was easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 It's not a mac, it's a smart controller interface module with dedicated operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, I guess I missed that you're going to need a breakout cable if you ever need to use any of its inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Um, when did Al get the 4? Dinny, you PM'd me in October asking me about how I liked my Model 4 so maybe your cold has gone to your head. I use breakout cables with mine, and the analog output is all 8 channels. I can play simultaneously on 4 amps that way. I have a 2-channel breakout cable for the output also, but I usually use the big dog for more flexibility. The digital breakout cable is 2 AES/EBU out and 2 in (also total of 8 channels). The analog in is a simple 2-channel L/R pair, but that could be moar if I had other analog sources and wanted the Model 4 to be the preamp.

As Al stated, a the valuable feature of the ULN-8/Amarra-4 is the capability for multiple source inputs and multi channel outputs to various amps. A significant selling point for me with the ULN-8 is how it solves both my immediate and identifiable future needs. Currently the ULN-8 offers the ability to be a great dac for all my iTunes alac and aiff files, it will serve as a phono stage for my new TT, and it can take over as my new preamp. The manufacturer is committed to standing behind the MH hardware and software as their product line evolves to ensure a degree of future proofing for the ULN package. I see my main system eventually evolving because of my association with this forum, to comprise of a stereo TT, mono TT, PC (w/USB to spdif converter) running 16/24, 96, 176.4 and 192K files in foobar, my mac mini running iTunes perhaps a AES source of some type and possibly a reel to reel source. That brings it to six channels of input, up to four channels of digital feeding a tube amp, a set of monoblocks now and perhaps Klaus's Odyssey monos or a Pass amp in a few years. So who knows but if I get crazy enough all of this can be handled in one box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
