Connecting 252 to Focal Arche

[easeback1]

I ran into similar problems with my 252. Pin configuration on the DIN - RCA lead is the issue, see Mr Dane’s explanation below:

Headphone amp

OK, you’ll use the unbalanced input on RCA phonos on the HDV820. You’ll need a suitable DIN to RCA Phono interconnect. As I mentioned earlier, the DIN will need to have the REC OUT pins connected, so may well need to be a custom made for purpose.

Connecting RCA - RCA from NDS to headphone amp and switching inputs works fine. Is there any sonic advantage here to keeping the 252 in the signal path?
