I went to their web site. It appears there is no preamp functionality to this dac.

Hi rez files for now. 
I had an extensive collection of LPs and CDs however 3 divorces took care of those. So for now the sane way to me to rebuild my collection is through computer audio. 

I recently retired so I have a lot more leisure time to spend with my hobbies.  I would love to compare electronics but here in Miami there are few dealers. 

 I greatly appreciate the suggestions and advise.
Be well

I missed that price. dam it. 
Anyway I have been intrigued by the Nuprime Dacs (9,10) . I wonder how their amps would drive my Jade 3's?  They are so dam inefficient.  Has anyone heard the amps? 
I read  a good review on the ST9.

Saw Some good buzz on the Gustard X20 Dac.  Any experience?  I wonder about the preamp controls? Priced very well.
