rubbersoul Desperado Registered: 02/27/06 Posts: 383 Loc: folsom, pa.	Need some advice here or correction. I have the 990 and the Chordette Gem which is a Bluetooth device and it also has USB Type A to B connection. As the Chordette is connected now I am using it strictly in Bluetooth mode and it operates fine listening to music thru my B&W 804S speakers. However I recently purchased a pair of Dynaudio Focus 110A speakers which are active speakers with their own built in 50Watt amplifier. According to instructions in the Chordette website to activate the USB signal all I have to do is switch the input setting on the Chordette. Connecting type A -B type USB from the Chordette to my Mac to stream music. This is my question. Doing this setup requires also that I would have to disconnect the left and right inputs from the 990 and connect them to the Focus 110A's. What about volume control. Is there another way I can have my cake and eat it to or would I have to buy another DAC with volume control.

A toggle to change from USB to Bluetooth. That's it. I have to connect the speakers to the DAC. Could I use Y-splitters? Connecting both the 110's and the 990? When using Bluetooth I have the 990 in Bypass mode. _________________________ Outlaw 990/7700 Conrad Johnson Premier140 Tube Amplifier Conrad Johnson 17LS MKll Pre Amp B&W 803D2’s HTM3S DS7's HSU Subwoofer Mitsubishi 6800 Projector Da-Lite Screen, Oppo BDP93 Comcast PS Audio DSD Stack Variac Kill-O-Watt Nakamichi cables Audio 8 cables Air-Server Mac-Mini ROON

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	Why not connect the analog outputs from the Gem to an analog input on the 990. That should allow you to use zone 2 to feed the powered speakers and control volume using the small remote. Connecting the pseakers to the DAC will prevent you from using the volume control on the 990 although the volume may be controllable from you source. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

rubbersoul Desperado Registered: 02/27/06 Posts: 383 Loc: folsom, pa.	Understood. Then connect the 110A's to ZONE 2 out? _________________________ Outlaw 990/7700 Conrad Johnson Premier140 Tube Amplifier Conrad Johnson 17LS MKll Pre Amp B&W 803D2’s HTM3S DS7's HSU Subwoofer Mitsubishi 6800 Projector Da-Lite Screen, Oppo BDP93 Comcast PS Audio DSD Stack Variac Kill-O-Watt Nakamichi cables Audio 8 cables Air-Server Mac-Mini ROON

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	Right. Then you can use the 110As amp directly off the 990. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

rubbersoul Desperado Registered: 02/27/06 Posts: 383 Loc: folsom, pa.	XM THANK YOU. I totally forgot about zone 2. I never used it. I will let you know the results. I am pretty busy right now so it probably won't be until the weekend. Crazy right? Have a lot of work that must be completed...time sensitive. I want to be able to relax and enjoy it instead of rushing. _________________________ Outlaw 990/7700 Conrad Johnson Premier140 Tube Amplifier Conrad Johnson 17LS MKll Pre Amp B&W 803D2’s HTM3S DS7's HSU Subwoofer Mitsubishi 6800 Projector Da-Lite Screen, Oppo BDP93 Comcast PS Audio DSD Stack Variac Kill-O-Watt Nakamichi cables Audio 8 cables Air-Server Mac-Mini ROON
