olds1959special replied to the thread Preamp or no?.This seems to contradict what AnalogSteph says above. I'm not sure what noise my pre-amp generated, it's a Schiit Saga S. I wanted to... -
olds1959special replied to the thread Preamp or no?.Based on this, the damping factor should be 250 in my setup so I guess I'm okay? 50k input impedance / 100 ohms output impedance / 2 = 250

The L-07 was 50 k ohm input impedance. They are very similar so that is likely what the L-05 is. Same 1 volt sensitivity for both.

olds1959special replied to the thread Preamp or no?.I don't have the input impedance specs for the Kenwood L-05M's. It just says Input sensitivity: 1V. The DAC output impedance is 100 ohms...

Indeed. But that's about it, too. These days there's a bunch of DACs that make numerous classic preamps green with envy in the...

olds1959special replied to the thread Preamp or no?.I tried a Topping DAC once (don't remember which one) that freaked out and started outputting loud white noise one time, but it seems...

olds1959special replied to the thread Preamp or no?.How do I know if the DAC-amp connection is underdamped? I am using RCA splitters to separate the signal from the dac to the four amps. I...

I had a D0100 pro Dac going to a Schiit Saga S to four mono block amps but I ditched the preamp and am going straight from dac to power...

If you have completely moved to digital souyrces, a DAC with volume control is a modern day preamp. I use an RME ADI-2 DAC for that, and...
