Enjoying LEEDH Processing….

While this speaks well for LEEDH processing, I think what you are really enjoying is the absence of the primaluna pre.  Primaluna has a full featured preamp that isn't as transparent as the simpler ones.  

OTOH, it is good to hear that Primaluna's amp gives a clear and detailed soundstage without the pre.

Carlsbad, as you know, there are many in our hobby who like what a pre-amp does sonically for their system. And then there are others who like to run direct into an amplifier. I think we would all agree it’s the  gear and ears dependent on the choice that’s made. I have only one combined source unit so this simple set up seems to be working for me

@tuberist Sorry I wasn't trying to disagree with you.  I'm listening to a similarly simple system right now.  

However, I find the preamp in my DAC is inferior to the simple volume control in my integrated tube amp so I leave it bypassed.  Glad yours sounds great.  I guess I should have started with that.

Carlsbad, absolutely no offense taken.

This weekend I tried the LEEDH processing. Wow, this is really good. I wish I had done it sooner. Like you said, more organic and transparent at the same time. Anyone with a Lumin streamer should give this a go.
