I totally disagree that a digital passive preamp with dac is as good as a active preamp. Any professional reviewer .myself owned a
Audio store for a number of years an active preamp has much more capacitance ,discreet power supplies and therefore better dynamics, soundstage size and depth and especially when the spl
levels get loud the performers stay focused and right there ,not thinned out. A quality preamp normally is at least $3k and up.
the lneartube Audio is an exception to the rule , I would recommendedthe Latest Mojo Audio power supply for that which
is much better then then their upgraded $600 unit . The Lascala
dac is without question more musical then the ps Audio dac. And similar in price, which I owned their latest and sold this spring.
Therasberry pi is good for the monet, but cannot come close to anything over $1000. You get what you pay for . I will say one thing IfiAudio has been producing excellent products
try their digital usb cable, and usb-3 purifier, and plug in AC purifiers Fantastic give hem 100 hours nothing in the $100 range
anywhere gives so much for so little $$. And full money back audition.
