That's plus CA sales tax ($10).

But I can save the $30 shipping as I will be driving by the store on my way to work in an hour!

I designed the top shelf of my recording desk to take my 586 CD player, so have room for another Meridian box.
But I was simply looking at alternatives as I have other smaller items that fit perfect in there two.

I'm now redesigning my desk so I loose a rack cabinet but gain drawers for them smaller items ... (mics etc.).

My thinking now is that I will digital out from the 586 to the 562 to the DSP5000s, and also run an analog chain to connect into the recording set-up then back up to the 562 before going digital again to the DSP5000s.

It's complicated as I want to be able to listen to CDs in there, but also play CDs through my recording/monitoring system.

That way I can play along to CDs and record it, and also check mixes back through a "home stereo" as well as my monitors ...

And a big headache getting it all to play together.
