The reason I'm so interested, is that with this knowledge, I can maximise the quality of the music I listen to, without having to go shopping for more exotic equipment. I'd like my stereo to produce the best sound it's capable of, and while I like to trust my ears when it comes to audio taste, I'm not capable of blind testing and spotting the difference between adjusting the volume on my SB or pre-amp.

Dam. My main system has a TAG DAC, and Exposure XIX preamp, to active speakers. I would follow (1) above, but I have no remote for the preamp, so I'm doing a mixture of 1 & 2. -- Triggaaar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triggaaar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28834 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
