PS Audio Direct Stream

Neal, I also have a BSG QOL unit. That unit has 4 rca or xlr inputs along with 2 sets of outputs.

So, when I say I am running the Direct Stream direct to my amp that's not exactly true. The Direct Stream first goes to the QOL and then to the Pass Labs Amp.
Yes, I have tried the Direct Stream bypassing the QOL, but I prefer the QOL in the chain.

Anyway, with my home theater set up I am using the front output channels from my Denon unit (preamp outs) to the QOL home theater bypass input. The Denon thus controls the volume for movies.

The mind boggles, Ozzy . . . .!

I am sure there is some type of IC splitter that will let me run two sets of IC's into one input pair. but that does not sound optimal, espcially with a RCA to XLR adaptor to begin with.

Thanks.

I just downloaded the new firmware update. Wow, quite an improvement in "air". I now have 360 hours on the DS.

Ozzy that's exactly what the recent review from Audiostream claimed, the latest firmware gave more presence and space.

@ Nglazer, Did you need to burn-in the cardas RCA to XLR adapters?, If so, How do they sound?, do they take much from the sound, what is your honest impressions of the cardas Adapters?, Excuse me gentleman for getting off topic, this will not take long, thankyou.
