Preamp with XLR input under 1k?

Thanks for answers.

Balanced would be fine Zd542

Thank you for all recommendations.

Hegel HD 25 DAC offers its XLR output for best sound quality. It has a very good quality digital volume control. It has a preamp. It has XLR output but my power amp QSP has not.

How about if i use Cardas XLR/RCA adaptor and save some money for good preamp? Is it effect sound quality?

Thank you all for help

So what pre will be best with my system?

options:

Vincent SA-93
Bel Canto pre3
Primare P30
Muse Model 3 Signature
Audio Research LS9
Emotiva XSP-1
BAT VK3i (let's say i can find it under 1k)
Adcom GFP-750
Wyred mPre
Parasound P5
Hegel P20 (i may get it)

Oh sorry my English Timrhu. I don't get you.

How about eastern electric avant?

Oh yes Timrhu, you're right. Unfortunately i can't try most of them in my country so i have to decide without listen them. That's why i want to be sure.

I read good things about Avant Pre.

How about it?

Thank you

Thanks Velocityofhue

Yes Zd542,

I saw it. Thank you

But my power has only RCA input.

I think 5i doesn't have RCA output.

And we use 240 volt in here. This might be a problem.

Thank you again
