Philefreak: Fat and a bit soft? Is that because of the speakers? I have heard your pre and that is one heck of a pre, but not fat in my eyes. Droplet is supposed to be smooth and detailed but not described as lush or tubey. I have used McCormack's old DNA series that was moddified by Steve and that was very nice, but the Bel Canto digital amps I have used are much better. Fantastic control on the low end and clean open mids and highs.
Curious, what else did you consider prior to picking up the Droplet? Also, no mention of cabling.
Good luck.
