RE: Ahhhhh

I agree with you, I tried some DAC's years ago and gave up. Then a few months ago I started following the digital forums here and for the same reasons, ease, variety etc., bought one that had been recommended by Abe and others as being a good DAC for about $1,000. It is OK. I use it a lot, but mainly for background music.

I'm currently also using updated Citation 11, and had the same experience with passive vs active preamps, but the passive preamp experience was also many years ago. What I am hoping is that some of the magic we hear from preamps will start to show up in the DAC's, but it will probably be an expensive chase in the interim.
