Jungson 88D vs Dk Design MKII

Those are both integrated amps not preamps. There is one poster here who has owned both and thinks both are great but prefers the DK design. Of course as he pointed out, the DK Design is 2X the price of the Jungson. You can probably find his posts by doing a work search.

While I haven't heard the Dk design I do own the 88D. When you look at what $1500 normally gets you in the way of a integrated, the 88D is a no brainer purchase.

Nice comparison Mark.

Hold down the "mode" button on the amp or remote. When the volume display begins to flash you can then rapidly change the volume.

It will default back to the slow setting after a short time.

In my system I don't hear the music from the speakers much either. Fact is that was one of the big improvements going from a CA500 to the Jungson. Sort of like changing from a 2 barrel Carburator to a Holly, just allowed the speakers to breath.

Still I don't doubt what Mark is hearing. Like he said in both of his excellent posts. There is no best and which will work better, is dependent on listener preferences and what system the amp will be placed in.
