Preamp between EMM CDSD & DCC2 & Gamut amps

I have removed the MC 12B and have installed the EMM DCC2 SE, directly powering the Gamut M200's, run the EMM DCC in for about 85 hrs.. am listeinging.. but i feel the sound is too analytical..

have you heard the new Classe 700?

Rajupatel: I am pretty sure you are not talking about the EMM Labs DCC2 "SE" (Signature Edition). It is pretty much impossible that you have one.

I will be exploring along the same lines....for its including pwer amps....but I think rather than better per se u shld think about what kind of sound or your overall system synergies....the DCC2 preamp to me is very transparent, neutral, solid state preamp....so seeing how tube preamp (especially when your pwer amp is SS) would be a worthwhile experiment: CJ, Acoustic Research, Aesthetix etc

I use Audio Research Ref 3 with Gamut M250 mk3 monos with great results. They are great combination and I by the way used to have M200 mk3 monos before.
