How do you have your Droplet cdp hooked up?


Having owned a Opera Audio Droplet for a little over six months now, I was just curious if any other owners out there have experimented with running direct (using the variable output control) vs. using a high quality preamp.

I have always run mine direct, and am generally pleased with the results, but I guess I'm curious if putting a good preamp in the chain would "gain" (pun intended) me anything?

Thanks to any & all!

if i had a droplet. i wouldn't hook it up at all. i would stare at it and use another cd player. after a while, i would sell the droplet.....just kidding, but i have been told that the player is very revealing and if your system or sources are not up to par, it could make for some unpleasant moments.
hi bkonig. you are stating an opinion just as i have. opinions are neither correct nor incorrect. only that which can be proven true or false can be correct or incorrect.\

there is no way to prove the correctness of your statement any more is there a way to prove the incorrectness of my statement.

as i have said and will continue to say, statements expressed on this and other forums are opinions, as they are based solely on experience, hence induction. there are no true or false statements accept as based upon mathetics or logic.

there are equations and laws of physics and in that "realm", true and false is applicable.

our listening experiences, however many, do not bring us closer to knowledge regardless of their consistency.
hi driver. what is knowledge. knowledge is the result of deduction from premises, axioms, postulates to a yield a result which can be proven as true or false.

knowledge cannot come from experience. the process of learni8ng from experience is induction. if i hear something 100 times i have confidence that, ceteris paribus, i will hear it again. i do not know i will hear it again.

still all of the statements made on this forum are opinions, by defintion. it's all about logic.

your concept of a bad note is still one person's opinion.
what is a bad note ? is it intrinsically bad ? how do you know ?

just stating that you know does not mean that you know.
proof is necssary. experience is not proof. rather one experience confirms another. proof is a rigorous proces with rules. usually some form of logical and/or mathematical reasoning is required.
