Parasound Preamp

Hello,
One more thing about the NAD658. For $1699 the BlueSound streamer is already included. So you are only spending $200 more but you are getting the streamer included in the deal. 

I have own P6 /Hint6 McIntosh C52 Michi P5 emotiva and Rotel RC1590 
P6/Hint6 is my favorite 
I have two set up Hint6 with cocktail Audio X45 and Hint6 with Cambridge Azur 851N in garage 
the WORST Preamp ever own is Emotiva Xsd 
for preamp duties there’s nothing better than P6/ Hint6 at the price range or even double triple 
the quiet preamp ever 
Michi P5 looks gorgeous but lot of noise and distortion at standby mode same on Rotel 
McIntosh C52 /601 mono blocks  boring sound sold them I prefer my A21+ / P6 over it 
Parasound need to update their chassis P6 looks too ugly but still better  than a lot of preamps out there though
i pay more for Hint6  to use as a preamp only because of  looks  
hint6 and P6 are technically the same 
the features on P6/hint is amazing 

P6 / Hint has 3 subs outputs best  HT bypass tone control subs and speakers high and low  frequency adjust option to run you speakers full range and lot more 
I’m using my own dac so I love them I pay 1200/2200 for them 
if Parasound updates the Chasis I will pay $2/$3k for them
one major downside to me is no software 😅😅😂
 I’m music lover not audiophile 😇☺️😉

Parasound is good equipment ... I have an old amp from Curl; quiet as mouse.

But best advice would be for you to look at Odyssey Audio ... I don't think there's a better buy in the whole audio universe than what Klaus is building in Indianapolis!!

I had that amp for 4 weeks - then sold at a big loss.  Awful phono pre, some of the knobs are very small - if you have big hands.  It will sound better that a marantz or demon.  Be warned that the warranty is not transferable - always a big red flag for me.  Rogue has some nice pre’s that are reasonably priced.  I have settled in on ARC.

I picked up an “Open box” deal awhile back. It’s a really nice pre, with good connectivity, and a descent DAC also. Very quiet background, nice remote and HT bypass. 
I have a Rel sub and have tested the sub-out with a longer balanced cable with impedance matching transformer at the sub end. Works like a champ, but I still prefer the Rel “high level” input. 
Any specific questions about this model?
