But I am wanting to make a point. I own 3 sets of Heritage, currently ( 2 pr Heresy, 1 pr Lascala). Adm... | |
| PS Audio Delta 100 Based on how many amplifiers ( and not just amplifiers ) I have owned in my lifetime, it is not uncommon to find different components ( capacitors, transformers, etc. ) to be exact, without a model change to the product, from companies such as P.S... | |
| Need a preamp? I am with Atmasphere on this one, having gone passive ( permanently ) 2 years ago, and having a few units. | |

| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? Al, I think you hit the nail on the head. I believe the engineer was implying " deviation from accuracy ". This makes the most sense, and the dictionary says the same, and not just about audio. Al, I believe the question was answered. T.Y. Always,... | |

One, is obviously amplifier clipping, which is very unpleasant, and one that I personally, in my own system, I never... | |
| McIntosh MC 30 with Wilson Max 2 You will get some output, but none that I would enjoy. YMMV | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Well then, I too, emcdade, need to apologize as well, if in fact, this unit, as the one George found on Audiomart, is similar to the one you have. This " exact " Maestro model is not the one listed on their web site, so, a lot of confusion here. T... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Another thing, emcdade, the last paragraph of your 1st post, you even state " how a passive preamp is doing this is a mystery to me ". You are obviously somehow confused. It is OK, we all get confused now and then. Except George. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? @emcdade...According to Perla Audio's web site of the new Maestro preamp : 3rd word, in the 1st sentence of it's description, it states " passive ". In the specification section, it states " gain = 0 ". So, I, too would like to see a link stating ... | |
