I got about 50 SACD discs that I enjoyed a lot, when I really got the time to sit down and listen intently but most of the time, my SB3 thru my MF A3.24 DAC is very satisfying. I wanted the TP bad, to simplify everything, ie get rid of my passive pot and associated wirings to the amps. The problem then is how to integrate the SACD playback thru the TP and its volume control. The nearest setup (rather than the TP) to my liking is the EMM Labs DCC2 and a DSD transport but at huge expense. Any thoughts on this setup since I can only read about it? PS: I experimented a lot with various passive potentiometers going back 25 yrs after getting so sick of preamp noises (one of my tests is putting my ears close to the tweeters w/ the volume at maximum setting). The volume control scheme on the DCC2 is fairly unique, so is the one on Pass Labs, they put in quite a bit of thoughts into this very weak link in the system. Had a chance to test the Placette Passive and felt that it sounded pristine, better than my setup except for the irritating clicks when you change levels, so I know there is room for improvement.
