I would suggest putting that Calypso back in the chain. I’ve gone directly from dac to amp (xa30.8) and heard a positive difference including the pre. Give it a try.
Aesthetix Atlas Compared to Pass Labs XA30.8
Has anyone had experience with both of these amps to provide a comparison?
I currently own the "regular" Aesthetix Atlas....and am curious about the Pass Labs XA30.8 primarily because I play my system at generally lower levels.... Any thoughts would be appreciated!
