So Sean and I agree on this part. > Now, a "digital preamp" could accomplish this just the same as > an "analog preamp", but a proper digital preamp would be capable of > significantly higher output voltages than a Squeezebox (or CD player, > or whatever). What in the world is a "digital preamp"? Does this phrase even have any meaning? Does it mean run the analog signal through an ADC, multiply the bits, and the output the result through a DAC? Does it mean an analog preamp controlled by a digital thing? My Classe amp's remote control only has one-bit control, the remote has only Louder and Softer buttons. It could mean PCM control of a binary amplifier and a filter stage, like Class-D power amp. There are probably other possibilities. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
