The No32 is a no holds barred pre-amp. As the 40 is the same for a processor. However, I think it's impossible to have all the digital circuitry necessary in the 40 without compromising it's ability as a pre-amp. Keep in mind, when I say compromise, it's really only against a reference component. While I have not been able to compare the two side by side I don't think there's any way the 32 would not best the 40 for a pre only comparison. What would really be interesting is to see on a scale how the 32 vs 40 vs 380s stacked up. We know the 32 is well above the 380s, now where is the 40 relative to the 2 would be very intersting.
Is it worth keeping a Levenson no.32, no360s when
you have a no.40? Did anyone A/b the no.32 against the no.40? I love the sound of the no.32 , but i would like an all in one solution, with out sacaficing 2 channel sound.
also, how does a 360s dac compared to the no.40 dac? Acording to Levinson, they did not expect the no.40 dac to sound as good as it was intended, hinting it was beter or equal to a 360s dac. Levinson did say also the no.32 preamp is superior to than a no.40. I would like to know if anybody did these comparasons themselves. Thx in Advanced.
