Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out
To try another test, plugged my CD player (Oppo BDP-103) direct to the CD input of the Ref 5se and same scenario. I made sure to double check the menu and set the volume to fixed output and still full volume as though the Ref 5se was bypassed. Vol... 
Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out
Going to try a power cycle on the Ref 5se. Haven’t tried that yet. Even tried swapping some tubes in the Lampizator but still no luck. So frustrating because the sound had been so good. I really appreciate all of the great suggestions. I’m hoping... 
Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out
@oddiofyl  Thanks for the reply and I wish it were only that easy. I have different cables going to each respective input so that’s not it.    As I continue to troubleshoot this, I tried my older Bluesound Node 2i. Same instance. The volume can ... 
Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out
12many, Thank you. I did check the other output settings previously and there was nothing to indicate that being a problem. Also, after re-reading my initial post, I should clarify that I was only using the Eversolo as a streamer. I had tried th... 
Integrated suggestions
@rhljazz  I sold my Luxman LX-380 to purchase the Gato Amp 150 AE and have zero regrets. It’s an amazing integrated with all the juice I need to run my Aerial Acoustics 7T.   The sound is so clean and pure. Even my wife commented when she first... 
Integrated suggestions
@rhljazz  I sold a Luxman LX-380 tube based integrated and purchased a Gato Amp 150 AE and it amazed me at how good it sounded. I am driving a pair of Aerial Acoustic 7T’s and the pairing has been absolutely fantastic! The Luxman was OK but the G... 
Has Anyone Heard Aerial Acoustics Model 7T with Luxman LX-380?
It’s an original 4B. The ST, SST, cubed all came after the original.  
Has Anyone Heard Aerial Acoustics Model 7T with Luxman LX-380?
All interesting points! That’s why I respect all of the knowledge/experience that’s shared on this forum. 👊🏻 So to make things more intriguing, my new AA 7T’s arrived this past Tuesday. I placed them approximately where my previous Paradigm Prest...

Thanks mofojo! Appreciate the reply.  
Benchmark DAC 3B Vs. Schiit Gungnir Multibit and a question.
@rvpiano, I received my DAC3 HGC last week. There is nothing lean about this DAC. Very full sounding throughout the audio spectrum. I was a little concerned about many folks writing about how “bright” the Sabre DAC chip can be. Not so for my syste... 
Anyone heard the Luxman LX-380 tube integrated amp
I am running Paradigm Prestige 95F. Extremely efficient so a great combo and the sound quality mates extremely well. I can listen for hours in bliss. My vinyl has never sounded better. I recently added a Bluesound Node 2i to the mix for digital st... 
Anyone heard the Luxman LX-380 tube integrated amp
I recently purchased the LX-380 and love it! All of my 2 channel listening had been through my Anthem MRX-1120 prior to taking ownership of the Luxman. Initially, I was leaning towards a Luxman SS integrated but my dealer recommended the tube base...
