Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp


Does anyone use this preamp? I heard it may not be all that good.
I have had the Super Amp MkII for quite a while and it is very very good. I feed it with the variable output of a Benchmark DAC or the variable out from the Oppo into it with superb results.
I am looking to add a preamp because Iwould like more inputs. The matching AE3 MkII preamp is at the top of my list.

Yes, one wonders why preamps don't as a matter of course have mutiple gain settings, or at least one or two outputs with low gain for digital sources.
Any more input on difference between the DJH and the MKII, both still available through Upscale. I am looking to use with two tube amps (Music Ref MRM10 and 9s) with 1v sensitivity and 100kohm input impedance.
