Hello friends, just a clarification please. ive connected an ERC-2 to my XMC-1 balanced input, which DAC is being used to output? XMC-1 ? or. ERC-2? Can I switch between the two DACs? Or input from the ERC-2 to the XMC-1 with a digital input to use the DAC of the XMC-1? Just want to clarify for myself,,,,,,,still playing,,,,,,still listening,,,,,,,,still learning!!!!,,,,,,,  |

As such, the ERC-2 is sending analog which means it's also converting. Now you can make both analog as well as digital connections (coax, optical or AES/EBU) and switch between them if you like. |

That's what I though, just needed confirmation. Thanks my friend! |

Which is the best connection? Well the DAC in the ERC players are really really good, so both options would be good as I'm sure the DAC's in the XMC-1 are no slouch either  , switching back and forth how Geebo mentioned could tell you. Chad |

Ok, cables fine.
I go from balanced in to Coax 1 and ERC-2 shuts off.
No trigger configuration has fixed it yet!
Input please!!

I had an issue similar to what you are describing with the first XDA-2 I had, so two things come to mind.... First power everything off ( in the back ) for a minute - if everything is fine and you can trigger on an off a few times in a row you are set, if not change your connection order - if the ERC-2 is the first device in the chain, put it at the end or in the middle of the chain to see what happens. Hope this helps

Cables good my friend. The ERC-2 is set up properly now for input button number five,,,,
When I select down to Coax 1 the ERC-2 triggers off. I've tried to match settings of Balanced in to Coax-1 and it powers down the ERC-2.
Suggestions please.

Have you checked the trigger setup?
>Menu
>Setup
>Triggers (Choose the trigger connected to the ERC)
>Input
Make sure Coax-1 is ticked

Not trying to be funny, but I think the XMC/Dirac and all that would be overwhelming for me to pick up on. I just read the posts with trouble shooting and issues and my head spins. Hope you get it figured out! |

A little off topic I know.....but
All my emotive gear is near new and I have heard there is a break-in period of approx 300hrs.
Should I wait until the 300hrs before loading Dirac?
TIA
