| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp Tube W sound more powerful than SS W because tubes distort more and higher distortion will be perceived as higher loudness even if the measured SPL is the same. | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC The DirectStream upsamples the input signal to high rate DSD and I suspect this is what makes it appealing to you.I'd try the Teac NT-505 DAC/streamer which can upsample to DSD512 or the T+A DAC8 DSD connected to a PC with HQ Player for DSD upsamp... | |

| DAC through a preamp or direct DAC to amplifier As long as the DAC can set different output levels in the analog domain beside the digital volume control or has an analog volume control entirely, I'd go with a DAC direct route.A dCS Bartok has 4 analog referrence settings for its outputs: 0.2V,... | |

| setting requirements for my streaming DAC+"preamp"/volume control and suggestions Based on your needs I'd try the dCS Bartok DAC/streamer.It has a digital volume control with different output reference levels available set in the analog domain, to ensure proper gain matching with the amplifier and avoid a lot of digital attenua... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed Depends.Are you doing a lot of digital attenuation at your usual listening level? The MC275 has a lowish gain (varies with the output tap used, the lowest value is from the 4 Ohm tap @ 17dB ) so I think it's a good amp to be run direct. | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade Since you have a balanced DAC and amplifier I'd look for a balanced preamp as well like the Benchmark LA4.https://benchmarkmedia.com/products/benchmark-la4-line-amplifier?variant=12552489730165 | |

| CD Transports If the DAC has good jitter rejection the transport doesn't matter too much as long as it is bit perfect.If the DAC is affected by the jitter in the SPDIF stream then a more expensive transport might give you some SQ benefit (only if more expensive... |
