Does dcs Vivaldi stack needs a pre amp

Hi folkfreak, thank you for your valuable post. I am honestly very much impressed by you set-up. Wouw! Good to see you have tubes in the setup. When carefully chosen l, it can be a good balance/match.

I currently have Kharma Enigma Signature XLR interconnects which are to my humble opinion not too bad but indeed heard good things about Transparent Reference. I have tried lots af cables but indeed upgrading might be necessary.

I am going to have a good conversation with my dealer to make plan after a few listening sesions at home.

and apologize for bringing this apparently up again. The link on the subject is appreciated 

@georgehifi - thank you. I have seen your other contributions to the discussion folkfreek mentioned earlier.

Listening and judging by yourself is actually the best way to determine if the “colorations” ones audio setup “generates” suits your ears.

I am not the best Techie out there and the matching components part has been at least for me a challange from a impedance mV and Watts angle :)

Obviously there are pros and cons, but let’s see what the dCS stack does is my setup.
