I have actually ordered an Audioprana coax to XLR cable, basically I am intrigued enough to part with 260euros to give the coax to XLR link a try. I might get it a bit sooner now your order is on hold!
But Confused, I'm confused (sorry) - how can the signal go the other way? By definition, with this link, all the companion inputs are disabled so all the input signals, including wifi, go to the master and then the link is from the master coax to the companion XLR. The only external connection with the companion is any pre-amp out which one uses (which was the reason I needed the master/companion connected via coax/XLR rather than coax/coax).
Ian -you are not confused! You are correct, the companion inputs cannot be used if the Coax to XLR link is utilised. However, if using the coax to coax link, then companion inputs can be used, the master and companion effectively switch roles and yes, the signal goes the other way.
