True,
You won't need to use the XA-C30 adaptor for the audio
lines if you have 1 analog and 1 digital, but the
Unilink buss will still need an XA-C30 or simular to
recognize and plug up the 2 unilink changers and in
order for the HU to recognize them as 2 distinct
changers (CD2 and CD3).
This is how I currently have my stsem configured, with
a CDX-805 running analog to the XDP's RCA changer in,
a CDX-828 running Optical in to the XDP's changer in,
and both changer's Unilink's go through the XA-C30
then to the XDP's changer Unilink port. I actually
ran the 805's analog RCA's through the XA-C30 in case
I add another analog Unilink device (so I won't have
to re-wire later if I add an XT-40 or 757MX MP3
changer).
The "y" adaptor would work for 2 analog changers
AUDIO, but you STILL NEED something to handle the
Unilink switching (like the XA-C30 which already has
analog RCA switching built in).
To be completely honest, I can't tell a difference
between the 805's analog interface and the 828's
optical interface. They are both very clean. The
XDP's A/D converters are top notch and the ES CD
changers have pretty good D/A converters as well.

a little off topic, but close...Is it possible to run a portable mp3 player
straight in the analog input for the changer while having a changer hooked up
to the digital? Or do you need something else?

You will still need the Unilink "Aux Input Adaptor".
I forgot the #, but it is something like XXX 300b or
something. It is a current model ans even includes
1/8" TRS stereo ins as well as a USB in for a laptop!
Runs like $99. The analog input will be seen as
another changer (CD3) or an MD changer (MD1), but will
simply switch to the analog input without physically
controlling any Unilink devices.
If you try to hook up the MP3 to the analog input, the
XDP will ALWAYS default to the digital Toslink input
if it is "on" and the carrier sync is present (anytime
the changer is selected, the laser turns on and the
carrier signal is present). You could disconnect the
optical input from the changer (while leaving the
Unilink connected), and then the analog ins would
accept the analog MP3 player as long as the CD changer
is currently selected and still playing. This would
mean un-connecting the Toslink everytime you want to
select your MP3 and re-connecting the Toslink to go
back to the CD changer.
