At least compare with Touch :-/ "Tube magic" *shiver* . Directly driving the power amp possibly via good attenuators such as endlers.
But looking at the specs I see that it has an analog input ! very good and the tube out can be bypassed too as it has an normal output, very very good. So you can hook up the Touch both ways analog and digital and compare, note that output level is probably different so you have to adjust volume to make sure you compare at the same level. It takes a good DAC to beat Touch a very good DAC some say ? Getting a preamp can be a good move in itself , but is that one up to the same level as your nice looking power amp. Well you have to try and see what you get :) If on a really tigth budget I would look for a "passive preamp" as an option -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
