Hi gaal -
I am considering the MZ3 as a preamp and headphone amp. I am all digital, and only need one input for the DAC. Which DAC are you using, may I ask? A single-ended DAC?
The main reason to get the full LTA preamp instead, with balanced XLR inputs ($4700), is to be able to connect a DAC with XLRs, rather than single-ended/RCA. Many of the DACs I am interested in (Holo, Denafrips) are balanced DACs (that also have RCA outputs) and I am concerned that if I connect them to the MZ3 with RCAs, I won't be getting the full performance of the DAC compared to a balanced connection.
Anyone know the answer? Thx.
