RE: Emotiva XDA-1 DAC/Pre as Preamp?

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

When Emotiva talks about using the XDA-1 as a preamp, what they mean is that, if you have all digital signal sources, you can plug them into the XDA-1 and then connect the XDA-1 directly into a power amp - in which case you won't need an additional preamp - since the XDA-1 has both an input selector and a volume control. The XDA-1 also has a high enough output level that it can drive most power amps. If you have any analog signal sources, then you are also going to need an analog preamp of some sort.
