rein-o wrote: Little confusing, you are using the SDP for everything but then what are you using to enhance the CD player? Sorry yeah I'm being pretty unclear. The SDP's DAC should be superior the the CDP's (Sony CDP-991). So I want everything (DVD coax digital, LD optical digitals, CD to go into the SDP then I've only got a single analogue out from the SDP. That would feed into the TA-F808ES? (keeping? ebay case pending) First is it a good idea to run a pre-amp like the SDP into an integrated amp? Testing with the CDP-991 into the SDP and the SDP into the CD input of the 808 reveals it sounds good but having two volume controls is confusing and sometimes tricky to get balanced right. Second can I run a bypass or something through the 808 for non music content on LD and DVD? I want that to come out of TV speakers so I don't thrash my beautiful separate speakers. As I said the 808 has something called direct in and then something called adaptor in and adaptor out. Could I utilise these inputs in some way to switch from speakers to the TV without manually changing the connections each time? Really need an 808 user manual (not service manual)..would anyone here have one possibly? Thanks, hope I'm clearer this time but have a feeling I'm not..

I'm no massive expert in this type of thing but from what I know and remember. Your integrated amp should always be better than your SDP? and for things like 2 channel they would be better I believe. When I had an integrated, AC3 decoder and LD, DVD players etc. I ran everything into the integrated then the AC-3 into the decoder, I believe I also ran the LD regular to get the audio. So in the integrated I would basically shut off or bypass and only use the power/speaker section as there was a setting for such as I'm sure your Sony has the same. Its hard to ask and hard to explain but if you feel the SDP is better or equal then I would look into what you may need being a 6 channel power amplifier to connect for speakers etc. Hope that makes sense, I just woke up and trying to remember is hard

Okay, I gotta be clearer.
The 808 only has analogue inputs, so to switch digital sources easily I need the SDP. Yes analogue direct from my CDP to the 808 is an option, but I think it actually sounds better digital from CDP to SDP than analogue from the CDP to the 808. The SDP "cleans up" the signal from the CDP, making the CDP just a transport, ie I believe the SDP has a better DAC than the the CDP-991.
The SDP-EP9ES has a well regarded DAC and should feed the 808 a nice cleaned up analogue signal from any source.
The only problem is the SDP only has one analogue output but I need to sometimes use my good speakers (hooked up to my 808) and sometimes my TV speakers.
Now if there is someway to use these "direct in" and "adaptor in/out" on the 808 to redirect the signal from inside the 808, either to the speaker A terminals through the 808's power amp or to a set of RCAs that will be connected to my TV (from the 808)????
Thanks for your interest and attempt to help Reino

Well I reordered from monoprice and this time it went through. Got my stuff so I could finally setup my system again. The 25 foot RGBHV cable works great, picture is just as good as it used to be over a much shorter cable. Also got some long runs of 14 AWG speaker wire and a huge stereo RCA cable so I can put sound through my TV if necessary quite easily now. I just use the adaptor out on the 808ES and it acts as a carrier for sound to the TV even with the amp shut off, no need for piggybacking or splitting the signal. Very happy except for the issues I'm still having with sound dropouts on the 808ES.
