    Pre-amp DAC help

    Im afraid IDK the difference in speaker level and line level. Is it the volume control range is limited in the niles? EDIT I see it has 60w max and a max 42db attenuation. My amp has way more output potential than 60 watts. I see the difference now The Pac is only RCA based, but maybe theres...

    Pre-amp DAC help

    The E70 does have an analog volume knob on it, I need an additional safeguard beyond that? Are we talking something like a Niles SVL-1? I can get one of those really cheap

    Buckeye NC502MP 8-Channel Amp Review

    Yeah I have 2 Denon AVRs and still plan to upgrade. First of all the 105 watts x7 Denon shows is with only 2 channels driven. They dont have nearly enough PSU to run them all close to that. Also 100 watts inst much, Id rather have 300+ watts and never need to use all of it, than worry about...

    Pre-amp DAC help

    Thank you I remember people always saying the more components in the line the more introduced distortion. Maybe not as much of an issue with newer high end components tho. Cool! Might do that to save till I can get all the pieces

    Pre-amp DAC help

    Will there be a lesser output potential from the DAC to amp compared to a real preamp? I dont know if there are gain differences or different output voltages that might not be the same. If I had a DAC and a pre-amp then where do I set DAC volume, and does that have higher potential volume, and...

    Pre-amp DAC help

    I have used a Denon receiver for years. but now I am buying some nicer amp(s) and need a preamp. Suppose could just use the Denon as a preamp, but I feel that might lessen or defeat the benefit from the NCx500 amps? Anyway its confusing to me when looking at DACs and pre-amps. I have a very...

    YouTube cracks down on ad blockers

    Ads are not just annoying and a waste of time, usually play louder than the program and that pisses me off the most
