I am running the 75V directly into an Accuphase A-50V power amplifier via single ended outputs/inputs. Interconnect is a 1.5m run of Nordost Quatro-fil (sp?). I typically do most critical listening between 15 and 20 on the 75V's display. Background levels are at 25 or higher. BTW, lest you think that pairing of Accuphase components is the deciding factor, I found that the 75V sounded better running directly into a Rowland Model 10 power amp (upon removal of the battery powered Synergy II pre amp). The Model 10 preceded my purchase of the A-50V.
Calling all Accuphase cdp owners
Hello all,
I am seriously considering purchasing an Accuphase DP55V cdp and noted with interest that it has a digital volume control. I was wondering what your experiences have been using the inbuilt volume control (does attenuating lose dynamics, resolution, detail through the reduction of bits?) and whether you think it sounds better running it direct to a power amp or through a preamp? I am currently upgrading the entire system starting with the front-end, but if the digital volume control is as good as Accuphase say it is, I would save a lot of money by not getting a preamp and instead buy/make a simple passive switchbox myself (so I can use both the cdp and a HT pre/pro).
Cheers,
Mike
