Thanks for the comment. We seem to. Eon the same threads as I have also been active in the Musetec 005 DAC thread. After some research, I am thinking about trying a low cost experiment to place a Topping preamp in front of my Decware 2 watt SET amp. I am happy with the Tortuga but am curious to see if I can get an added benefit from using an active preamp.
Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
Making this thread to show my love for this amazing preamp. Yea, all the use usual descriptions apply. Yadda yadda it is great.
It is 1:15 AM in the morning and my kid and wife are asleep. I am not cranking it but listening at very very low volume (I have great headphones available but it sounds amazing on the speakers right now). It is the preamp that is doing the great sound at low volume. I won't get into details., but damn this is something special. I am on my 4 or 5th scotch but do let that cloud your perception of what I am saying. I knows what I am talking about.
You guys going direct to amp from DAC. Put this into the circuit (for $2500) and tell me it is not better.
