Is the DAC2 preamp digital or analog?
I tried the DAC1 with my logitech touch by digitally turning down the volume. It bested my AVR at loud volumes but at low volumes (for example night listening) the digital volume control sounded just ok.
That makes sense, because DACs are generally most linear at full scale. So it seems to me one would want an analog preamp rather than digitally scaling all the way down that far. . .
Any thoughts on this? I am trying to decide between upgrading to a DAC2 versus getting an analog preamp. . .
