I am also a preamp first audio fan. brings everything to life. yes.
don't underestimate the quality of your streams.
Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ?
Amp: Modwright 150SE
Speakers: Aerial Acoustics 7T
Streamer/DAC/ : NAD C658
With the goal of achieving higher fidelity, would a 10k -12k MSRP preamplifier be overkill when you only stream from Tidal or Spotify? Do higher end preamplifier applications mostly apply to vinyl and /or high end transports vs subscription streaming?

@vonhelmholtz and OP I don’t know if I should ask you why you think that you need room equalization, or question myself as to why I think that I don’t need room equalization. Post some measurements. |
OK, to the crowd that is voting preamp I am scratching my head. I have a Marantz surround processor and a dedicated Sony Signature TAZH1 ES that functions as a DAC/preamp/headphone amp. It is a cost no object dac/pre from the best engineers at Sony and was 5 years in the making. It sounds transparent as anything, but not "better" than my Marantz unit on 2 channel, just different. What is this preamp that will unleash this magic?? How much do I need to drop? My current 2 channel Sony preamp/dac/headphone amp: https://www.sony-asia.com/electronics/audio-components/ta-zh1es
