I am running my 860x direct to My krell amp with great results after listening both ways I sold my krc3 You will loose switdhing capabilities but I feel what you gain it is worth it. I say try it and listen for yourself. All you have to lose is your pre.
Wadia 850 and Spectral DMA 150 matching without pre-amp
Can I directly connect a Wadia 850 to a Spectral DMA 150 without using a Spectral pre-amp?
I understand that the Spectral pre-amp give very current output (upto 1 amp) and a maixinum voltage of 100v peak for the power-amp. The guy at my local audio shop advised that Wadia/Spectral power amp direct connect would give poor dynamic range. However, I am not quite understand the reasons behind it.
Would anybody give me some advise.
