DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler?

Three years ago, I auditioned Deve with and w/o Mscaler.

To me, it is night and day difference in details and clarity.

I would not have bought Dave alone.

I have Dave modified with three Farad LPS.

I also use it with Mscaler.

Mscaler made sound more detailed and transparent,.

But it may sound thin in some system.

Although Dave can be used as pre amp with digital volume, I added Margules tube pre to make it more harmonic.

My system does not sound thin.

My conclusion is that Dave and Mscaler could work in some system but not others.

Thomas

I do not use Farad on Mscaler but other unkmown LPS on it.

It help.

You may try Farad on Mscaler.

Three Farad Lps kit for Dave is not cheap at around 5k$, but its effect is almost transformational with more dynamics and bass headroom.
