It wasn't harsh sounding but it was more flat than it was with the preamp. Now this could be due to the fact that I use tube preamp and not used to all-solid-state, I'll let you know in 2 days how does a Bryston preamp sounds compared to no preamp if you're interested. Volume was there, and since you listen to it loudly it will be dynamic as well. But to me it's the "pop" issue alone that makes preamp a must. If you read my first post while I had some issues with the network the Transporter reset itself and I heard a loud pop out of the speakers, the pop is actually same as playing something at max if there is no preamp. It can be devastating to the speakers and your ears. -- nuhi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nuhi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10571 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34650 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
