The analog connection between the preamp and primary speaker did not induce any hum or hash that I could hear, ears close to the speaker and volume cranked up beyond comfortable listening level.

Listeners who like vinyl as well as streaming won’t have to compromise with the Diva Utopia system, except in that the only analog connection isn’t balanced. The same goes for someone with a large collection of CDs they haven’t ripped to a server, as long as their CD player has a TosLink output. The only downside is all those connections, running cables from wherever the turntable or CD player resides to the rear of the primary speaker. In the setup described above, I used a 6′ cable from my phono preamp to the rear of the primary speaker, which in my setup was the right one.
