| Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? what @simao said. I had the iDAC, great little piece. I sold it to one of my buddies and he still tells me how much he likes it. Some great deals on their amps on the used market. | |
| Focal Aria 936 compared to Legacy Signature III I like my Focal 926 with a Tubed Pre and Ps Audio Amp , I compared them to Quad ribbon tweeter and Sonus Faber (Sonetto III maybe) and stuck with the Focals. Although I did like to the Qauds very much , S3 I believe. Would love to have 2nd pair ... | |

| preamp and dac volume I tested both ways. Got to turn the DAC only up to about 33 to get the same level as the pre turned up to about 22 & DAC at 88. DAC only sounds a little more analytic than with the tube pre in the mix. I like the sound of John McGaughlin's ... | |

| preamp and dac volume I have done that before. As a matter of fact I can go balanced in that config. I got the Pre in there cause it's got a decent phono stage and Mullard Tubes. I give it a try over next couple days and get back here. | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. These mono blocks are right at $6K and I am sure they will take the Mac in on trade. In home audition for a couple weeks I believe. They gave me good money for an old Rotel amp when I bought my Steller 300. Interesting custom ICe Edge/ Tube hybri... | |
| Colapse to Hegel Yeah in the end I decided to keep my current setup. Save my coin for a dedicated amp. | |
