Ditto! I wanted to keep it as simple [pure] as possible but couldn't really enjoy the SOUND. Adding a good preamp (SinglePower MPX3 SE with preamp out), I was able to max out the SB digital level yet didn't detect any transparency loss. In fact, everything improved. Finally, adding a good DAC (Altmann) really makes the system SING. -- PaulB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PaulB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2977 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30661 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
