Only via HDMI out.

Because I have a fully active ATC system.........that's why!!!!!..:) BTW.......without amps it should be cheaper.....a few other brands Pre/Pro's are cheaper than their AVR's

Wish they did a pre/pro version of this.

Been using one of these for a while now with absolutely zero issues.

Yep,,,,,,,,,Spock

Actually that Vulcan is Lieutenant Saavik......:)

Don't forget the superb X26 Pro........... https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/gustard-x26-pro-full-decoding-es9038pro-2-chip-dsd512-bluetooth-5-0-xoms-xu216-high-performance-audio-decoder?_pos=8&_sid=a4fddefac&_ss=r

I tried a Denafrips ARES II R2R DAC and found it dull and foggy. Who knows!!!!:)

Why not look at a matching center from Martin Logan?

They don't have the same filters. Gustard X26 Pro PCM Filter: 3 positions: Vivid, Gentle or Composite. Gustard bypassed the stock ESS filters and developed their own with the help of a hardware DSP by Analog Devices. Gentle will have a slight roll-off in the treble, Vivid will be more extended...

It shouldn't matter if YOUR FRIEND is from NASA....;) It's YOUR system in YOUR house which YOU will be listening to. YOU already said the sound is great so then why do anything?:cool:

You don't need passthrough........it does simplify things a bit but you can still use your NAD M33 in combination with an AVR. Don't understand the "delay, relays" forum talk at all. The AVR will need to have Main Pre Outs though. If it has then you simply connect your NAD to the AVR's pre...

Love my X26Pro. Why not try one of those?................and also the new A26 with AKM chips as well.

For anyone interested. I am using a Gustard X26Pro DAC with an XLR output impedance of 100 ohms connected to my Topping Pre90. This gives me an impedance ratio of 20:1 I am very happy with the result. I believe you need to have at least a 10:1 ratio.

That's the exact one I have . Note.........I am in Australia and we have 230v

The Kanex uses a 5V wallwart

My recommendation is to listen via HDMI as SPDIF Coax has less bandwidth. This will ensure playback of any hi rez files and also facilitates SACD (DSD) should you so desire.

As the base model Holo May is already around 4x the price of the Gustard you would hope it would offer a better experience of some kind!!!!!!! As you also prefer it to the (even more expensive) Weiss maybe it's R2R ladder design is just your preferred sound presentation. Might be worth having a...

Don't believe so. I just set vol to max.
