DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
@carlsbad2 + 1  I do it another way:  I am good at buying and selling used equipment.  The key is never to buy junk.  So I buy a lot of equipment and resell the equipment that doesn't suit me.

Some really great points have been brought up in this string. Different systems will adapt better to change and others will not. Really measurements will play a small part in this process and yes cables or lack there of, can make a difference rega...

I know a lot of folks do not care for this guy or his musings, but he has a point if you are digital only. https://youtu.be/81RQLo0tLHE?si=t9BKS9t34O0bESV2

@coralkong not sure that’s Gods Country but it’s darn close. You will need more than a 6 pack for that drive. 😉 Texas is a drive. Not saying Texas is Gods Country, partial to Montana and Idaho myself.

Happy retirement and who is arguing? I am always the smartest guy in the room when I work from home 😎. Should give it a listen.

@tvrgeek did not listen to the podcast from a real EE/Audio Engineer regarding the 10 Audio Myths. Geek it's number 3 so you should not nod off. BTW a lot of here are engineers, MSME.   https://darko.audio/2023/10/podcast-10-hi-fi-myths-busted-w... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@jayctoy if you have time listen to the podcast with Peter, he agrees, to a point.

The LAB 12 is a very fine DAC @oddiofyl and you did not compromise one bit you made an upgrade.  Personally if I were the OP I would audition as many of these DAC as I could.

I agree with Jerry and Ozzy62. Though I do have an SPL Phonitor 2 I use as a headphone/pr amp in one of my system configurations and a Schiit Freya + I use as a passive-pre. I like swapping things around and in addition I have a very nice Tube In... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@ernstmach Then you need to do more research and give this podcast a listen. Cables do matter no matter how much Science and knowledge The Geek espouses. He is not an engineer nor is he a designer/manufacturer. Pure conjecture on his part. Peter...

@arafiq no I did not, I had the Echos End then upgraded to the Echo’s End Reference, prior to the LessLoss I did audition the MA3, Lampi Golden Gate. I also owned the Mearson DAC1. All ore excellent DACs the LL EE worked best in my system.

@tvrgeek I see reading is not your strong suit slick. You really think that Schitt will hold it’s own against LessLoss, Lampi, SPL, LinQ, Mietner, Mearson, Holo, then you are bat schiit crazy. May work great in your Schiit System (and you may th...
