What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?

Doni...

That is also great to hear. Both of the PS Audio DAC's were built to run without a preamp. 

In reading on the PS Audio forums, 98% of the people LOVE Snowmass. It has it's quirks, as everything does, but for the most part they love it. It will be installed on mine when I get it.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about this. Always good to know that someone has taken the route you are about to take, and loves it!

Thanks Doni!

Hi flip49er,

I have a Pass Labs 30.8 that I run with Horning Eufrodite Ellipse speakers and the pairing is wonderful, but received Nelson Pass SIT-3 amp and use Frankenstein 300b mono blocks.

So I want to sell the XA-30.8 amp and also have a PS Audio Directstream SR. DAC and Memory Transport for sale if interested PM me. I'll give you a good price for them. Check my feedback they are all in excellent condition.

It has more than enough to power 
Great bass control

Snopro...

Thank you for the offer. I am wanting to buy the XA 30.8 new. I also have a PS Audio DSD sr. on the way.

With the responses I am getting from you and Doni and others, it sounds like I will be able to get the Vandy TREO's and have no problem running them. 

Thanks everyone for your feedback on this. 

Hey Doni...Just wondering if you are still following this thread...

I got my Directstream DSD and the Pass XA30.8. Just put in the 30.8 in last night.

Since you have almost the exact same setup, and are using XLR's between DAC and AMP, I was just wondering...

On your DSD Jr., are you using the high gain or the low gain going to the AMP?
