Is it possible to use this power amp with a variable output from a dac? Or it needs a preamplifier?This option is available in my country for similar price to the "DIY finished" one from Ghent sans the balanced input option. I notice that these IcePower units always require an input buffer stage that is not so easily sourced as a DIY module.
I was considering this amp, but i am running a 2.1 system. Could anyone suggest a way it would be possible to include a sub? (Note, I'm not wise in the ways of audiophilia...) thanks.
I have a question about this amp’s gain adjustment. Does the adjustment only make things louder or will it also go into minus db? I have an integrated amp right now of which I find the volume knob way too sensitive so I thought a power amp with adjustable gain would be a great solution!
Hi. I would need your help . I just get the amp XTZ Edge today. Objective is use it with my hc receiver Arcam 390 in preout. My loudspeakers are B&W 683
Bad surprise: I get a very annoyed background noise even when the volume is adjusted at mid level with the knop in XTZ rear panel. This noise is so loud if I push it to max level
Any idea what can be done ?
Thanks
Yes. In my setup it works well without pops. I am using the xtz with shd studio >> rme adi dac >> xtz >> Revel m16.I read that the XTZ Edge A2 300 has an automatic power on/off.
Does it work well without any pop in the speakers?
Because of build, connections, price, or?It's a great amp. I prefer it over AUDIOPHONICS HPA-S250NC. I regret only the lack of XLR connection.
Thanks for the info. I was looking at some of these other amps as competitors. Good to the XTZ outperforms them.I bought XTZ over a month ago and feel that its probably the best investment I have made in recent times.
I had been using Marantz PM6005, Peachtree Decco 125 and PS Audio Sprout 100 heavily before XTZ and cannot tell you how happy I am with XTZ really.
It can really bring out details and low end punch very well, at least this is what I felt.
Paired it with Topping D90 recently and they both made my Paradigm Monitor 6000F (not the best speakers, I know) sing.
I am now looking to see how a different pre-amp could help further, tube as well as solid state.
