Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SqueezeBox3 DAC vs. DEQ2496 DAC ?

2008-02-27 Thread Kiep
The analog output of the DEQ is pro level +4dBu (and +14 if needed) which is too high for most audiophile preamps. You either have to get 10dB attenuators or a 4:1 isolation transformer (look at Jensen ISOMAX series). -- Kiep

It will match your amp very well and it sounds much better than older BP25 or Bryston 1.7 processor(despite of Bryston claims that it is the same circuit). My BP26 replaced Simaudio P-5, Ayre K-1, Pass X-1 and plethora of other preamps including Magnetic Passive. -- Kiep

From experience I know that this could be symptom a of digital attenuation. Anything attenuated more than 3dB will be lifeless and without dynamics. Why would you use Transporter to feed another dac? If you don't like it as a dac get a Sqeezebox otherwise you are wasting your money. -- Kiep
