Yes thanks, and now the soundstage is correct but the red positive phono is now of course in the black socket. -- chevvies Meridian GO6, Squeezebox 3, Oppo DV980H, Pro-Ject Debut III Phono USB, MacBook Pro, MacBook, iBook G4, Cambridge Audio DacMagic, Sony VTX D800 > Grover Huffman SC > Wyred4Sound ST 1000 + Cyrus PreXVS > Ecosse ES 4.45 bi-wire > ATC SCM19, Atacama SL500, FlexyTable, Panasonic 37PX80B.

No - not the digital coax!!! - leave that alone.

Re: [slim] Feature request: Polarity control
Yes, the amp and DAC are separate, I will try and reverse the digital co-ax cable, at work at the moment, I think SC should be the latest version, I'll check that when I get back too, thanks.

Thanks. Oh - sorry I thought you were talking about absolute polarity :-) L/R inversion... is your DAC seperate from your amp? - if so just swap the DAC-AMP cables over... If not, then swap your speaker cables over at the amp end.

Re: [slim] Feature request: Polarity control
Apologies for the vagueness, maybe I am misunderstanding the thread, it was the only one I could find that seemed to be addressing my problem. My issue is that when connecting my SB3 to my DAC via co-axial digital the stereo channels are reversed, therefore the soundstage is the wrong way around, and I don't know how to correct them. Could it be an issue with the DAC?

If you mean "has the feature request to implement remote polarity switching or automated switching based on a database tag been implemented?" - then, no. Given that detection of absolute polarity is only possible by humans in certain well defined circumstances ref AES:Greiner + Melton (e.g. certain solo acoustic instruments) AND that very little attention is paid to this when manufacturing media or indeed audio gear in general except in studios where channel polarity is a critical issue... ...I wouldn't hold my breath!

[slim] Feature request: Polarity control
Hi all! I request a feature to control signal polarity on a per-album basis, as well as on a per-song basis. (Polarity specification for a song would override any album polarity.) A overall-polarity switch directly from the remote would also be useful for those that don't have a polarity swith on their amp. The background is that with digital room correction (TacT RCS 2.2x) I can now easily hear what is the correct polarity on many of my albums. And very often the default polarity is not the correct one! My pre-amp allows polarity switching, but it is 1) cumbersome, and 2) easy to forget what you concluded was the best setting. I might implement this feature, unless it turns out to be very difficult. However, I'd like to check if anyone here has done it already, or is working on it!
