My preamp is passive and there is no problem with it.
I've recently discovered that by switching the digital inputs it sounds OK for a while and than the left channel dims out and becomes mushy and undetailed in comparison to the other one. The same experiments were made wiht different input of my preamp. As I've mentioned before, my analogue setup sounds OK with the same preamp.
This DAC was pleasing me, but I wouldn't break my head on where and how to get it fixed. I just need an idea of the good used alternative in $600 range for listening mainly red-book CDs and HDCDs. Meridian 518??
