I too own a Mytek Brooklyn and it's really a spectacular unit. Throw in the fact the MSRP is $2k and it's a steal. Even the firmware that I updated yesterday went off without a hitch. It's a very powerful unit which sounds great both through a pre or direct (how I use it). I have a Sotm sMS-200 connected to it as well.
Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier?
Anyone have any experience with the Mytek DAC's preamp direct to a power amplifier? Any good? Great?
I'm considering going with a Mytek Brooklyn direct to either a McIntosh MC275, Pass Labs XA60.8m or X250.8, or Parasound JC-1. I'd need to stick with this setup for a year until sufficient funds are available for a preamp, so want to make sure it's enjoyable and a marked step-up from my current Rega Brio + Parasound zDac combination.
Thanks!Ken
