Tranporter --Bal--> Bryston BP26DA Pre --Bal--> Linn Artikulat 350A I bypassed the Bryston to see if I could hear a difference and if there was one, it was negligible. I could get the TP to -10db before my windows started to visibly bow outward. I decided that for safety and flexibility of other sources, I'd keep the Bryston inline. I've A/B'd the balanced out vs. DAC in the Bryston and honestly can't conclude what differences there are and if I like it better one way or the other. The nice thing is that I have 3 DAC connections available for future digital sources...although I don't picture having anything other than a CD player I suppose.
