DCS P8i direct to pwr amps sound quality.


Anyone here using the DCS P8i directly to power amps with great results and how does the player stack up with the likes of Audio Aero Capitole mk-2 on redbook replay?. Any feedbacks appriciated.
Cheers.

Well that's a bit of a coincidence - it looks like your post and my "survey" were loaded about the same time. You'll see in my post that I find my P8i direct to Pass 350.5 to be quite excellent (I think I said - in a hi end sense). Whether it can be better or not with a pre is my next direction - I hope to try a couple soon. I haven't any fair comparisons to others as it has taken me a long time to get a system which I feel does justice to the gear (strange as that may seem for such a fundamental arrangement). I'd add decent cables and power lead arrangements are critical.
Hi,

I use Herbies Footers but really haven't tried with/without - I just use them anywhere and they seem to help. FYI, though the P8i was a little edgy new, after running in, with good CDs there is nothing at all harsh about it in any mode. If the cd is not so well done it doesn't mask that if your downstream gear is similarly inclined.

Best
