#1 digital audio and HDMi switcher
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 3:50 pm
Hi All
I've got a WD PRE3/WDVA88/Musical Fidelity Anniversary TriVista DAC, and an LG Smart TV/SKY/Tidal as sources.
So that I can run Tidal I use Chromecast. Because I want the videos from Tidal (or the web), it is a TV Chromecast - single HDMI output) rather than the Chromecast audio - single optical output (which I also have as a spare).
The TriVista DAC has only two inputs, Optical and Coaxial. 'll keep the sources to SKY and Tidal for simplicity.
For all this to work together I have a central hub to which I connect HDMI from Chromecast and HDMI from SKY. It then sends the HDMI output to TV HDMI 1, and coaxial digital from the selected HDMI input to the DAC.
Currently I use a 4 way HDMI switcher with 1 HDMI, 1 Optical and 1 Coaxial output (I'm not interested in any analogue output). This is a great gadget - you have seen them on eBay and Amazon etc. Cost £23 including postage. Credit card size flimsy remote.
However ... £23 including postage... Good job I didn't expect quality LOL. It adds hum and crackles way too much . I'd like something similar without the hum and crackle.
Any ideas Many moons ago I had a Meridian 621V, but that was an expensive unit and anyway time and HDTV has left it far behind.
£23 would be a nice price LOL Any ideas? What silent devices do others use?
Any
Cheers, Aidan
