| Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp I've now made the decision to sell my wonderful Rogue RP-5 (listed here at AG). I'm now looking at either a Benchmark LA4 or PS Audio BHK preamp. I will need balanced connections for a future amp purchase. I was considering hooking a mytek dac as ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I have been learning a lot about volume controls of late. In my years of having various components, I have never really thought about volume control quality. Back to the Mytek. Darko has a review up with a preference of an outboard preamp (BHK Pre... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I wonder what quality the Mytek dacs have? I have read that the PS Audio pays special attention to their volume controls. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I just found the Benchmark preamp interesting if someone wanted an ultra quiet, active preamp. The volume control seems to be of real high quality as well. For late night listening, I currently have a Schiit EQ in the effects/tape loop connection ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? The Benchmark LA4 looks interesting. https://benchmarkmedia.com/products/benchmark-la4-line-amplifier?variant=12552489631861 | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I listened to my Project S2 this morning for about an hour or so. The soundstage was just as good as the Rogue. The Project seemed to present a more "pure" signal where the Rogue added a touch of warmth (it is a tube preamp). Bass, mids sound wond... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? yes. I used it a couple years ago for about 2 or 3 weeks and was amazed how much better it sounded vs my Nova preamp. I'm getting ready to switch now and I will share my findings. I'm interested to see if I will "miss" my Rogue RP-5 preamp. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I may just take a week and exclusively use my Pro-Ject Dac as a pre and see what I think after a week. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I was watching a PS Audio video where the owner was saying digital volume controls , like many dacs and PS Aufio preamps have, are better. Paul describes analog volume as a brake in controlling sound vs an accelerator which you find in digital. I ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? When I was awaiting my new Rogue RP-5 preamp a couple years back, I used my project s2 Dac ( only digital inputs) as my main pre. I was amazed how good it sounded. much better than the Peachtree nova pre I had just sold.the RP-5, besides all the i... | |
| Planning out a PS-Audio Stack, seeking advice balance of hardware vs dollars avalible What online dealers discount PS Audio gear and what is typical discount percentage? | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I own the STA200 and imo, there is not much a better amp suited for a passive pre. For giggles, I hooked my SYS to it directly, plus my Pro-Ject Prebox s2, and the sound was fantastic and quiet. I do prefer my RP-5 which seems to add a little bit ... | |
| BHK Sig. 250 ? I was thinking it would be a great match for my RP-5 tube pre and Zu Speakers. I wish it had the ability to go "mono" so one could add another 250 in the future. I know the 300 are monos, however, they are quite expensive. I have seen used pairs a... | |
| BHK Sig. 250 ? The BHK 250 is now on my list. A few used ones out there that makes the price more affordable. I would like to hear comparisons, if any, of the 250 to the Benchmark AHB2 amp. I know they are two entirely different breeds and price points. | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping I keep forgetting that George does not like Schiit Audio...and that he thinks he knows EVERYTHING!Huh?? George, from what I've read in the past, always has praised Schiit's components for the price level. In fact, George recommended trying the SYS... |
