I use a PS Audio DAC senior and use it with it's digital volume control and I love it . As I just listen on phones nowadays the level of detail I get is incredible. Now I know why my millennium born nephew hates it , "too much detail Uncle Jim".
DAC volume controls
I'd like to get other's opinions on their experience about using a dac's volume control straight into a power amp instead of going analog into an integrated/pre.
Currently I have an Aurender A10 and a BAT 3000SE. The A10 seems to benefit from the BAT's preamp (though I have never had it with just a power amp - the BAT has no pre-in).
As part of a potential long-term upgrade I am thinking of stepping up to a dCS Bartok which is supposed to have a very nice volume control.
Thanks.
