Let me add MY P5 update.
In a word? Terrific.
And that's IT. I use the balanced inputs from my DAC and the optical input from my small dish. Sometimes I use the headphone output for late night listening and can toggle the tone controls on/off as a preset sort-of loudness contour for late nite listening thru the speakers.
I also have panels, but driven by an A23 per side in biamp mode. Nice:
Too much is never enough
Follow Ups:
Have you tried the dac inside the P5? It's excellent
And if your transport has optical, I highly recommend WireWorld
I may still put the A23 back in when I flip the Swans to the bass and the Maggies to the ribbons, but so far, the system sounds great
Listening to familiar music over the last couple days, I just hear deeper into the music
Anybody with Divas (or any other biwire speakers) should consider the P5 for it's ability to dial in the bass to your room
The P5 optical is used from my Small Dish for TV watching.
While NOT a 'reference grade' DAC, whatever the heck THAT is, it gets the job done, prevents Any possiblity of ground loops and even does well on the music feeds from the small dish.
A win-win.
I believe this configuration also minimizes chances of a ground loop ZAP daisy chaining thru my gear. Not that we get much of THAT here in Southern California.
