Been a long time fan of this community and the hard work of @amirm, and I have learned a great deal from you all as well. One thing I found myself doing a lot was reading the DAC reviews and trying to compare the prices and performance of the best ones. But that required a fair amount of...

As I'm in the process of searching for a good dac and preamp (possibly only a dac used as preamp) I was wondering how reliable the top options really are? I'm a big fan of a well engineered product, both in measurements and in usability and reliability. I guess pretty much everybody is... But...

Hey does anyone have a link to a thread or reliable video that has objective data comparing the different out output qualities of an Amp when volume is controlled on the DAC vs when its controlled at the amp. I tried searching the forum and found a few discussion threads but no real hard data...
