timo62,Someone told me a long time ago,  companies have price points for a reason. Sure there are dimensining returns, but a company's top of the line component sounds better than everything below it. Is the difference between the two worth it is ...

I've compared the Hugo TT mk2 to the Dave in my system. To my ears there is a easily discernible difference between the two. I submit most people wouldn't be able to live with the TT mk2 after hearing them in the same system.

I’m just trying to say what I always say, no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. Someone highly encouraged me to listen to the Rockna Wavedream Edition DAC. I had easy access to it, it was in my price range for DACs, so I had nothing to loose. M...

hgeifman, I've talked to you several times about the Dave and with all due respect, you need to listen to the Dave in your own system and let your own ears decide. If you can't listen in your own system,  take what ever DAC you own and compare it ...

Like I've already said, I'm not unhappy with my Corus preamp, but I'm curious to hear other preamps. I run my JR 625 S2 with the Corus in balanced mode connect with Wireworld Platinum XLR series 8 cables. 
Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio)
toetapaudio,You're a dealer for Mola Mola? The Mola Mola preamp with DAC card list price is $22K? It's my understanding a used Mola Mola preamp recently sold on Audiogon for $6K, which makes Mola Mola a very bad value no matter how it sounds.

So, before I do anything with equipment I decided to invest in improving my room. I currently have GIK Acoustics, but decided to contact Vicoustic Resources. I already paid them to provide recommendations based on the information I sent to them. I...

ozzy,AR told me that their preamps have two inputs so it should have no problem driving an amplifier and subwoofer, but based on the low input impedance of the subwoofer many say it isn't optimal from a technical standpoint. The guy I talked to at...

4425,I appreciate your concern. Unless I come into a lot of money I'm definitely not replacing my JR 625 S2. The verdict is still out on the Corus and it really depends on what I hear relative to the cost of changing preamps. I may hear some pream...

It's my understanding that ARC preamps have issues when using a subwoofer and I have a JL Audio F112 v2 sub.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I will look into a couple of the recommendations. I actually need a preamp with HT bypass, so going direct isn't an option anymore.

elevick,When I first received the Dave I tried it straight into the amp and preferred music with the preamp inserted.
