Hi,

I want a buffelo dac with some spdif inputs, some AES/EBU inputs and also a I2S input.
I want to be able to connect it to my pre-amp with non-balanced interconnects, but also want to be able to use a balanced connection. With the ballanced connection I want to be able to drive my poweramp with the use of a volume control on the dac. Or is it possible to use semi balanced interconnect (xlr to rca) between the dac and my pre-amp? In this way I would only need two balanced outputs (L + R).

I think that I need the following accessories next to the dac kit:
- 4-Channel S/PDIF (or AES-EBU) Level Converter Kit (is it posible to combine spdif & aes-ebu with it?)
- Sidecar
- Legato? (What is it excatly?)

Please correct me if I am wrong. All other advise is also welcome ofcours.
