Schiit Loki EQ
I was told by my dealer that I would need a preamp and amp and I would have the signal go from dac to pre to loki to amp. 
Looking for Mac tube amp for my Focal Kanta 2 speakers. Suggestions please!
I have Kanta 2 with primaluna integrated HP, superb sounding combo. 
Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?
Thanks for all your help and ideas on my hot Schiit Iggy DAC.  It sounds like it is opening up a lot more.  It sounds good.  Schiit assured me that the heat is normal and it is warranted 5 years.

I drilled holes in ivory billiard balls and ran my cable through them every 18" in 6 ft runs.  Tremendous improvement.  It made Bob Dylan sound like Frank Sinatra. 
Tube integrated
Take the cage off of the Primaluna.
