@tump350 Thanks man.
@agisthos Yea I have the matching amp. The picture a little above your post is that amp. Be wary the C1 is its own integrated thing and doesn’t necessarily benefit from a BMC dac, All other BMC amps do.
About your pre-amp question, if you use headphones, 100% get this. I’m not aware of anything better. If you have a matching BMC amp, 100% get this as well. You can say the amp is handicapped until it is unlocked via the CI link. Other than that, maybe a direct talk with BMC can yield more result than me.
Do look into the Sonnet Morpheus though. Based on what I’ve read, it is a stupendous dac with a stupendous pre-amp.
@elliottbnewcombjr "I thought Pratt Institute had made a mistake admitting me"
probably gonna be the most humble thing I see today. Haha love it. I can say since you worked your butt off, They didn't make a mistake in the end. I guess more college should accept "mistake students" =P
