Originally my dCS Delius and Purcell directly fed the amp. An outboard A/ D fed FM and reel to reel to the Purcell so these sources were even up-sampled. Out of curiosity, I moved a Levenson preamp from a second system...eliminated the A/D, fed the Delius to the Levinson then the amp. This is more convenient and the sound improved even tho this is an older preamp. The preamp will stay in the main system until replaced by a major one like BAT 51SE, Ayre K-1x or Levinson 380S. This will provide another major improvement. You might borrow a good preamp to see if this is a viable improvement in your system. Chuck
A challenging question
Hello everyone,
I have been very impressed by the knowledgeable people who correspond on AudiogoN. I have received a lot of sound advice from several of you already. Thanks!
My question is:
I am using a dCS Purcell D/D upsampler fed into an Elgar D/A converter fed directly into my Krell amplifier. I am able to upsample both the audio track of DVDs and CDs with great sounding results.
I would like to be able to feed the audio portion of my digital cable TV into the Purcell so I can listen to cable TV through my system without adding an analog preamp into the mix.
My cable company supplied a General Instrument digital settop converter, but I don't see a digital output on its backpanel.
How can this be done? Any ideas?
Thanks.
