[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Solution: IR to 12v Trigger

2012-06-22 Thread MediaCenter
For those who are running Transporter directly connected to the amplifier and looking for a better way to switch their gear, I have an awesome solution. Buy the Emotiva Trigger, it comes with all the cables, install the plugin called PowerSwitch II and you are set.

Based on your statement I need something like this in the loop to switch inputs http://www.inday.com/da4x/da4x.htm Thank you for your reply. I am surprised that there are no preamp/dac that offers digital loop, another unique feature in Transporter.
