I use an MSB Analog DAC with a Renderer 2 module and volume control and eliminated my excellent Plinius preamp. Sounds fantastic, but even used, the MSB is pretty pricey, especially when you add in the new Renderer 2 module.
Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp?
I am getting into digital music server, considering a streamer/DAC/preamp unit like the the Brooklyn Bridge or Teac NT-505. Has anyone compared its Preamp section against a good dedicated preamp? I currently have the Conrad Johnson ACT2 and see if I can eliminate a component/cable in the chain without much sacrifice in sound quality.
