| Why a separate DAC? Your weakest link is your source material. I speak from personal experience. I most frequently listen to spotify through my Sonos, which is similar in sound quality to airplaying itunes music. I hooked my Sonos to an Audio Research DAC8 (pretty hi... | |
| Which Pre-Amp Pass Labs or Audio Research I just got the xp10, I like it it's very dry compared to an AR. Personal taste I suppose. If I had the means for a Ref5 I would strongly consider it, it is very very good. | |
| Does Separates really sound better than Integrated Having just upgraded from a Pass INT-150 integrated to Pass separates (xp-10 and x250.5) I can say that there was an improvement. While the INT-150 is a very fine integrated there is a noticeable improvement with the pass separates. I notice an im... | |

| Pass Integrated to Pass separates Onhwy61: I will also be upgrading my source components, this is part of the reason I've chosen to get the less expensive amp. I'm just concerned that I should have gone ahead as planned and waited a few months to upgrade the rest and gotten what I... | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates I also purchased the xp-10 along with the x250.5 | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates Bo1972: I appreciate what you're saying about the power cord although it's not in my cards to purchase a 4k+ power chord, for the difference in dollars I can pick up XA100.5's as slightly used demo's and use my transparent reference power cords th... | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates My X250.5 will be here on Friday and I'm already having second thoughts. Everything I read says that the XA's are better at any power rating period. Is there anyone that has an X.5 and prefers it over the XA.5's?I have a demo period so I can alway... | |
| Rack Recommendations Thank you all for the feedback.My $1,000 budget is due to both budget and skepticism. I don't want to overspend, I simply am looking for something that gets the job done at a reasonable cost.I suppose if there is a significant improvement to be ha... | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates I ended up going with the x250.5 and will save a little money for a new source component.I have 4 months to decide if I want to upgrade to the XA's so I can still do that. It still bothers me in the back of my mind that I didn't get the XA's but I... | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates I completely agree with the Ferrari analogy. I wonder if I might consider an x250 with the xp10? It would leave some funds for a more appropriate source. I can always move to class A later. I don't have an issue with the sound I have now, I just w... | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates Yes, I have Martin Logan Theos. The room is 9x13 although it is a living room space in an open floor plan. Therefore one side of the room is all glass windows and the other is open to a much larger space (welcome to condo living).I would describe ... |
