I would like to suggest you examine using an Exogal Comet it’s both the a DAC and PreAmp. It’s a SS DAC that many are using in combination with their existing Tube or SS Amps but it really shines when you combine it with Exogal’s Ion amp. For more specific details check out Doug Schroeder’s Dagogo 2 or 3 reviews. I have both Comet & Ion and knew in less than a minute of listening that it punches way above its price point and is a game changer sonically especially at its price point!
How important is a preamp for purely digital sources?
I’m currently deciding if I need a pre-amp in my setup.
I’ll be using a Bluesound Node 2i as the source and a McIntosh MC7100 as the power amp.
the question is ... how much sound improvement will I get by adding a pre-amp knowing that all my source material will be digital? Will it be more beneficial if I add a quality external DAC instead?
Thanks!!
