Hi all, I have acquired a couple of Quad II power amps that I intend to have serviced and made able to take a modern pre-amp and mains as the Quad 22 is, according to some, the weakest link and not practical for modern multi-source set-up.
I am thinking of an Audiolab MDAC+ as the hub for this system with an original Sonos Connect to provide the streaming content until I upgrade it. I'll connect it with a digital coax cable. I will also connect an old Sony reference CD player through digital optical.
Question 1 - has anyone got any experiences, good and bad, with linking vintage gear into a modern system? What do I need to look out for?
Question 2 - what does anyone think of the MDAC+? It's been out for a few years, anyone got any intel on if there is likely to be another-one out anytime soon?
Thank you for your thoughts.
John
