- Hi , how about the Schiit Jotenheim ? $ 399 , I know it’s twice $200. Add a DAC for a hundred . It sounds great and really shines when you add a balanced cable to your headphones . My point is this , Great little pre , Good DAC and Outstanding balanced headphone amp ( maybe the best ), at its price point . When you move on , as we all do , it’s a great little headphone DAC/amp to pair with your laptop in the bedroom or the hotel room ! Food for thought . Stay hungry my friend . Mike .
Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp
Currently using a cheap but fairly nice sounding Dayton T120 D class amp. Not enough inputs. I would like to find a pre amp to use with this amp and perhaps at some point, if I can find the money, I can buy a power amplifier to replace the Dayton.
Figure my budget to be under $200 right now. Looks like plenty of older inexpensive Solid State pre amps are available on Ebay.
Any ideas what I should look for when buying a preamp? I've only used Integrated amplifiers up to this point.
