Which PreAmp for Marantz PM KI Ruby

Hi guys,

My current setup is node 2i > rme adi 2 dac > pm Ki ruby > dynaudio special 40s.

I am considering adding a dedicated preamp to the chain and use the marantz as a power amp.

Will it be an investment worthwhile? If so, please could you give me some recommendations. Thanks!

To upgrade from the Ruby, you would need to move to new separates and that will not be cheap. So that leaves your loudspeakers as the best route to improve your system. Have you thought about some full range towers?
