Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT?

Hey Folks,

Anybody out there who cares to comment on running the Vivaldi DAC direct  to the Power amp.

Please compare with running through your favorite preamp and elucidate the differences.

Thanks & keep enjoying our hobby!

Isn't the Ref 40 the preamp?

What 's the input impedance of your amps?

Very interesting. I saw you mention
the single ended vs balanced difference before. Running into my Soulution 700, I do see transparency is better running directly. The Preamps I use are the best I have tested so far (MFA Magnetic Reference Silver edition). Of course I only run 2 meters of balanced cable from the DAC.

Were the input impedance of the amps very low in your case?

Regards & Thanks.
