AFAIK, yes. You might prefer or not prefer direct connection. It depends on so many specific parameters that the only way to find out is to try it. Take care to start with the TP volume at 0 (be very careful and remember what pfarrel said about burning. Don't do it if your system is known to act unreliably, in particular wrt. to the TP volume control). Although there are plenty of threads covering this topic, I'd like to mention a few (for me) issues which doesn't get discussed that often. As others have said. You *must* gain match properly. Depending on your specific situation this may result in a less than satisfying volume control structure. Ie. if you want to keep the digital volume-control above say 80, there really isn't much room for adjustment. At least I find it to be insufficient across variations in recording (loudeness), style of music, my mood, etc. The solution is to get variable attenuators (or several fixed). This gives more flexibility, but IMO things then starts to get a bit complicated and cumbersome. My personal conclusions: Variable attenuation is a must. Even then its not as convenient as a regular pre. Its generally less flexible, eg. can be difficult to do stuff like bi-amping and you get no headphone output. Of course if you don't care about the above or find workarounds, and it sounds good (which it certainly can), then go! -- bhaagensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61821 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
