Ok so this will be my setup soon and I want to know if they’re compatible together

So my plan is having the SMSL SU-8 Plugged in to the THX 789 as my Amp & Dac but, I want to also somehow plug the Topping PA3 (which will have the Paradigm SE Atom’s plugged in to it) plugged in to the SMSL SU-8 but just looking at the inputs / outputs on the back I don’t know if I need some sort of splitter or something like that, so any help would be very much appreciated.

P.S I’m pretty new to this type of stuff so sorry if it’s a dumb question

Ok so I’m pretty new to this stuff if you can’t tell I just realised ok, THX 789 XLR plugs in to the SMSL SU-8 XLR, then you plug the SMSL SU-8 in the your computer via USB Cable and then I can you use the RCA that’s on the SMSL SU-8 for my Topping PA3. :confused: big dumb in the brain moment I just had. Also yeah I don’t plam on using the SE inputs on the THX 789 just the balanced out, so I shouldn’t need to use the RCA inputs that it has.

Yup, that should work just fine :+1:

Sounds like you got it figured out. I just ordered the SU-8 and the THX AAA 887, I can’t wait to be where you’re at. Have fun
