Interesting coincidence, "sounds" like my problem as well. I posted the thread just below this one. Any help on that thread would be greatly appreciated. Cal Audio Alpha DAC mismatch with Adcom GFP 750 Preamp.

What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch?
As I understand it, you want your power amplifier to have an input impendence much higher than the output impedence of your preamp, at least 10x. Can anyone tell me what the sonic symptoms are of a mismatch? If I'm hovering around 10x, what might I hear that would indicate an impedence mismatch as opposed to, say, a preamp that is simply too bright or whatever?
