    Preamp with optical input, BT aptx and remote volume?

    So to give an update on this. I now have my to 2 x Fosi ZA3 stereo amps. And I bought a used miniDSP Flex 8 DL with Dirac Live licence as preamp and for room correction. Initially I am running the amps in mono mode, one into each speaker. The sound without Dirac correction was pretty good...

    DAC/AMP Recommendation for an audio noob + thoughts on speaker & sub choice :)

    Preamp with optical input, BT aptx and remote volume?

    Preamp with optical input, BT aptx and remote volume?

    I am getting a Fosi ZA3 power amp, and intend to add a 2nd later on to bi amp my speakers and run effectively in monoblock formation. I need what would have been called in years gone past a preamp to match the power amps, but I'm struggling to find one! Only two inputs required, simply music...
