H-CAT DAC


Hello,

I recently added an H-CAT preamp to my system and am pretty floored overall by the results... my question is, as I'm also in the market for a DAC and H-CAT manufactures one, is there anyone here that has personal experience with the H-CAT DAC.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

@joecasey thanks for the suggestion.  I would be happy if I could just control the preamp somehow without throwing it away!  I did open the cover to see if there’s a manual attenuation of some sort but the inside looks very clean...nothing that I’m skilled to fiddle with.  Could anyone help me confirm that nothing can be done about it from the photo? https://photos.app.goo.gl/tCqs1mTfqyNRTLy38 
@pepperidge  My H-CAT friend knows an excellent tech that might be able to help.  Don't throw it out yet.   I'll ask if ok for you contact him.  PM me.
My friend also has $20k tube pre and H-CAT is very very competitive.  Basically differences between tube vs SS so more different than 1 is much superior to the other.

Does anyone know of a universal remote that will work with the preamp? I have an H-Cat P12R but no remote....really want to get this guy hooked up. Thanks!
