| Should the best PC be on source, pre-amp or amp?? Best shall go to source, that says those with good resolution. Just use neutral cables for power amp and also connection between Pre and Power amp as well. | |
| Denon 2900 With MODS No use, Mod can offer you better digital signaling, but the key is the transport system is not good.Denon always offer you very good in high and mid but lacking soundstage and clarifications. | |
