Anyone connected Muse 11 directly to Amps


I AM LOOKING INTO A HI END DVD -A/SACD PLAYERAND FOUND MUSE OFFERS ONE THAT YOU CAN CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE AMP.I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE SOUND AND I TAKE IT THAT IT WOULD ELIMINATE USING A PROCESSOR.I ALSO SEE THAT MSB OFFERS A UNIT LIKE THIS TOO.IS THIS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE.
DO THESE UNITS ADDRESS BASS MANAGEMENT AND DO YOU STILL NEED SOME SORT OF AUDIO PROCESSOR.

I am running a Muse 10 directly into my amp(s). Getting the right IC is important. You need to take the time to find which one is the best match. I have compared this to 3 preamps ranging in price from $2000 - 4500. The CJ Premier 17II gives me more detail and soundstage, but not enought to want to go the added expense of preamp, power cord and extra IC, especially with just one source. The others detracted. The analogue attenuator module that Muse installs is clean, natural and does not take anything from the music. The Muse 10 puts out 12volts, so dynamic range is not an issue. So, yes it is a very good option. With a 1 meter run of Audience 24 IC the sound is analogue.
