Had an Accession for a short will now and totally impressed. So much so i now have a solo Ultra-Linear on the loner program and 99% sure will order one. Now seriously thinking of getting the Proprius but i have a dilemma!. The power amp i have at the moment has two inputs XLR and unbalanced, One i use for the Accession (Phono ) and the other connects a Pioneer DAC being fed by my Mac Mini for playing Flac / Apple Lossless files and can switched between the two. Would there be any way to connect both the Accession and DAC to the Proprius without any detrimental effects on sound quality? and if so how?. If this cannot be done then i have two options,
1 ) Get a Majestic but as i have had the DAC only a short while seems a bit silly to Fork out another £1600 for something which will in essence do the same thing. 2 ) Go vinyl only and just use headphones when i use my existing DAC. I need to decide fairly quickly as i am on holiday next week and would prefer to order the weekend and hopefully come home to some quality equipment to set up and listen to. By the way the system will power a pair of Dali Opticon 2 which are very good indeed.

Two inputs, one output . .
This suggests a (quality) switch box. I use one from this company to put two phono amps into the analogue input on a Majestic. Not cheap, but cheaper than a new DAC . . . Or of course you could sell your existing DAC and get a Majestic and benefit from the "synergy" between GSP components.

I'm in exactly the same situation and currently my digital files rarely get played, mind you I do prefer the sound of my vinyl. I have a good DAC - no idea if its as good as the Majestic, but I don't have the funds available anyway right now. The long awaited GSP pre would possibly be my ideal, but Bob's switch box idea could be the next best solution

New design office to give me the space to do that is being built around me as I type. Roofers at work right now - quite frightening... |

Don't really want extra real estate sitting on my rack but will investigate. The site on the morris-minor post directed me the a German website. At least i think it was German. What is this long awaited GSP?.

There has been talk about the development of a Slee pre-amp to partner the Proprius for quite some time. Obviously the Majestic also fits the bill for those who use mainly digital or who are in the market for a DAC/preamp combined. If I'd known about the Majestic before I bought my DAC then I'd probably have gone down that route myself. For now I'm content to sit @ wait for the roofers to finish their work.

Same here. Will get the Solo ultra-linear and Proprius and look for a simple solution until a pre-amp surfaces and see if it will be suitable for my needs!. The reason being only had my DAC a few months and was not cheap so need to get some miles out of it before i sell it on if ever.
