The Pass runs best balanced. All things being equal, pick a CDP that is balanced also. For example, the balanced 850 has a volume control so you don't need a preamp. Run it balanced to the Pass and enjoy. They are built like a tank but sound great. Make sure you set the internal gain control so the VC stays above 75. I believe the .24 runs balanced also but I don't know if it has a VC.
A Sanctuary of Sound should state which lines it sells when making recommendations, IMHO.
