I have a wyred 4 sound dac 2. It is currently hooked up direct to amp. At first I thought I liked the sound better with preamp (ps audio hca with matching power supply), because it seemed a little more warm and full, but now I like it without the preamp. Very transparent and now seems to be getting more bass and warmth. May be time to sell preamp and power supply.
Audiolabyrinth,

Don't forget now:
" Reaching down to the lowest octave creates a realism in music not otherwise experienced. Even though the fundamental note may only go down to 40Hz there are overtones reaching far below giving music the proper foundation.

It's not a guy thing and it has nothing to do with balls. Men have larger eardrums than women giving them the ability to hear low frequencies better than women.
@ sounds real audio, Wow!, I am telling the wife of this post, we argue at times that when I am hearing huge very low bass, she says I am crazy, she does not hear it!, and then at the same time, the woman, the wife can hear higher notes!, explain that one?, Is it because they have smaller ear drums?, sounds like cables, LOL!, the bigger gauge has deeper better bass, the smaller wires in a cable are better with finese and higher notes!mmmm, they are on to something here,LOL!
