| Thiel Owners @thoft, OK, then you might not need the pre-amp part. As the eq only has single ended inputs and outputs, I wouldn’t be too concerned with the DAC’s balanced output performance. The Adcom GFA-5800 has a gain of 29 dB for full output via it’s RCA i... | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft, re: dac/pre-amp combo, what sources do you plan to use with it and how married are you to the Adcom GFA - 5800? | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft, The eq can add two octaves to the 3.5’s. | |

| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers I’m not at all surprised that they would work well. I am surprised that one of the masters of value, amplifiers are so expensive. | |
| Ayre KX-5/20 & VX-5/20 v AX-5 Twenty Keep in mind that as is often the case with intergrateds, the AX-5 Twenty is not particularly well suited with sub 4 Ohm loads. https://www.stereophile.com/content/ayre-acoustics-ax-5-integrated-amplifier-measurements | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length I might be mistaken, memory not being what it used to be, but I seem to recall Steve Nugent at Empirical Audio who goes by Audiogon username:” Audioengineer”(?), might have done some measurements on this matter and suggested not using less than 1.... | |
