Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be
@hudo Loving them! Sound gets better in time, especially in the first 20-30 hours of use. Bass is great instantly, however upper range needs time to get in shape. Bass control is crazy good, the amp is super fast and impactful. I am so happy with ... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
Alright! Finally purchased something! :DI ended up getting an RME ADI-2 DAC and skipping the preamp altogether. I received the unit yesterday only and super happy with it so far! There is absolutely zero background hiss, none of it. Usability wise... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
Rotel's dealer seems to be closed today :( I won't be able to A/B compare PS Audio and Rotel.Anyway, I am thinking that I will go for Rotel if I can make sure that it can be noise free somehow. Putting sound quality aside, that IR problem is a big...

Alright,, pressing Ok button on Harmony for LG TV mutes the PS Audio :D If I would decide to go for PS Audio, I would definitely need to work out some IR control plan :D 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
@auxinput Yeah, emotiva was quite a disappointment for me :( Gave my system a Car HiFi feel.I am guessing that Rotel is no slouch in terms of internal components. Some of it's beauty can be seen here. https://youtu.be/zCro9sPHda0?t=24s I can see t... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
Few more thoughts on PS Audio's sound. These are some very early thoughts, I need to do more listening to clear my thoughts on these.Instruments sounds either panned fully to left, fully to right or in some blurry are in between. Things in between... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
PS Audio is home now, listening to it as I am writing this. It is scheduled to be returned on Monday.Honestly, I am kind of sad. I was hoping to bring it home and that somehow it wouldn't match with my system, sound poor and make my decision very ... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
Returned the P5 this morning, and got Emotiva XSP-1 from another dealer. Started trying Emotiva about 4 hours ago. Only advantage I can see with it is that it has almost no noise regardless of how close I get to tweeters. However, sounds really re... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
I have Parasound P5 at home right now, scheduled to be returned on Thursday morning.I realized that I made the big mistake of trying Rotel with it's internal DAC only and not using any DAC of my own (I don't have anything really good). Now compari...

@231runnin @sfseay Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences !I have been running the amps with Rotel RC-1590 for the last 2 days. Will be returning Rotel RC-1590 tomorrow, took it only for home demo. Problems I found are:- Power light is always b... 
Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be
Writing just for future reference for others.I steered away from all my initial plans and ended up with Class D monoblocks ! Yay! :D I know, some people are very against Class D sound, however in all AV shows, I was always attracted to Class D amp... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
@chuckhoness5343a1 Ouch, that sounds pretty bad. I was actually quite excited about the sub feature.About DAC, I am not that excited for it. I think I will go for a DAC that have selectable filters. However, if I go for Rotel RC-1590, then I think... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
@adg101 Thanks a lot for the help ! Unfortunately, there is no possibility for home demoing 851E :( Asked cambridge audio about differences in pre section of 851E and 851A. They replied saying that 851E is no longer available due to lack of demand... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
Any opinions on Cambridge Audio Azur 851E ? That is another option I was thinking of. More or less the same pros and cons of Rotel. It doesn't have DAC, but i don't really care for it that much.@2psyop I currently favor Rotel. However, that opinio... 
Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590
@erik_squires P7 would be a very attractive option. However, it costs 3600$ here versus 2000$ retail price in states.Currently thinking of home demoing Rotel RC-1590, and going for purchase if I like it, if not demo Parasound P5. Not sure if I sho...
