Is lack of xlr connects on preamp ok if streaming?

AUDIO RESEARCH VS VTL
Vac preamps offer remote thats not fully functional. Disappointing.VTL cust service is not so good.  Dont work well with distributors i hear. Not many carry vtl.  Higher end preamp, series III woefully overpriced at $30k.

If you dont adjust freya properly, you may damage your hearing.  I do have emails where they tout product for ht use.   The definition of marketing to discern where anything improper occurred is irrelevant. Whether they marketed it this way or not... 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
Yes indeed, it is marketed as a ht bypass solution without a warning.  This product as marketed seems very dangerous to use.  A family member using this may easily make a mistake.  Very very surprised elite posters are supportive of this situation...

Reubent,Amazing comments, thanks.when you refer avr setup, would these be the channel level settings? which normally don’t need to be adjusted, except for many one channnel abit louder than another.problem with ht bypass for tube preamps is that n...

They market product as a ht bypass preamp.  I have several emails where they tout this feature.what else do you use passive output for?the passive output allows a receivers volume to control volume.  Unity gain is achieved with the passive output ...
