    Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?

    I use the Totaldac Sublime, which has an excellent digital volume control system, but honestly using dedicated premamplifiers from Dissanayake Audio there is no possibility of comparison, but the opposite would be strange! Dissanayake has dedicated a lifetime to premamplifiers after over 50...

    Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?

    perfect consideration! if you have to use a passive preamp then go for digital control from your DAC, or directly with attenuators on the final amplifier. I am absolutely against removing the preamplifier which I think is the most important component of the entire audio system!

    The Lord of the Switch

    I can recall an anecdote in this regard. concluding the Ansuz full loom for network cables there was a significant step forward in sound quality, compared to having one or two cables mixed with other brands. there is more organicity and greater harmony towards a full and credible sound!

    The Lord of the Switch

    some time has passed, I left one of the three switches and I have to notice a loss, even if slight, where the small infinitesimal environmental information helps the reconstruction of the performance space, also a less evident separation between the execution and the space surrounding...

    The Lord of the Switch

    Totaldac new DACs

    I add some note There is a more extensive soundstage in three dimensions, a tone closer to reality, a greater quantity of information that better reconstructs the mid-bass and the bass frequency. now everything is perfect, as it should be organic, bright and full of energy, the notes vibrate and...

    Totaldac new DACs

    A few days ago the new Dac Sublime, top of the TOTALDAC range, arrived. I wanted to write earlier but I wasn't able to, unable, stuck, hypnotized and destabilized! The rules of the game have been rewritten. I struggle to think of a DAC that sounds better, here there is organicity, vibrations...
