A balanced passive preamp?

Larry,

Do you need multiple sources or is it a single source system? I had a single CD sourced system when I owned Monarchy SM70s in the past. I used a Theta Miles balanced version CD player connected directly to the amps via balanced interconnects. The Miles has internal analog mode variable volume that is remote controllable.

If you have a need for multiple sources, obviously you would need something else....

Enjoy,

I am using a Red Wine Audio modded SB2 thru analog outputs right now. I had toyed with the idea of getting a DAC and attenuator in the same component. The only one I could think of was the Bel Canto DAC 3 but might be a little above my budget right now. I only need one input. I would like to have something with balanced and single ended inputs so I could eventually add a balcance DAC.

Larry,

The Monarchy Audio model 22C DAC or Model 33 DAC/pre-amp are very good for the used prices. Alas, no remote.

Enjoy,
