| Preamp for Mccormack .5 monos Anything that has fine steps in volume control should work fine. A friend of mine uses Sonic Frontiers Line-1 preamp with his DNA-125 that also has 10k input. I brought over my ARC LS-25 and it did a very fine job as well. Look for something with ... | |

| What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES I've heard your player. It's a very nice unit. I didn't find the qualities you mentioned though. Anyway, if you want a mid priced dac, look into Bel canto DAC2 or the newer DAC3. But I would suggest looking at your interconnects and speaker cables... | |
