Good afternoon everyone!
I wondered how many wammers out there were using a DAC (with variable output) direct into a power amp as their digital system?
My second system has a USB DAC connected to an old Arcam A85 and I recently switched the amp to power amp only mode and connected that way, using roon to set the volume out of my DAC. In this particular case I think I prefer the sound this way.
I am asking the question because I am curious:
If you had a set budget to spend on a digital system with only one source (a DAC) then would you theoretically achieve a better sound if you only had to buy a power amp?
Who is doing this? What is your experience?
