Preamps opinion

Hello all,

My setup contains atc scm 40 mk2 speakers, hegel h160 as a pre, and bryston 4bsst2 power amp... Now I want to change my hegel h160 with a dedicated pre amplifier. 

My candidates on second hand are bryston bp26, audio research ls 26, ref 3, ref 5se(if i find budget)

What are your opinions about these matches?

What is your signal source? This has never happened to me. Sounds like an insufficient input signal.

Hegel h160 connected to bryston bda-2 dac with analog input.

That should not be. These pieces are std audio. No insult here.  Are you using single ended input? there any chance your your DAC is plugged into the Home Theater max level inputs, instead of the ones marked analog?

What you are experiencing to me sounds like a equipment problem. I would consult with an electronic repair facility.
