RE: Where to use a good IC.


I'd say it had always proven ( in my case ) to use ones best ICs on their source components, or at least the ones closest to it, namely ones DAC into integrated or preamp, followed by turntables which allow them to be used directly into their phono-stage, followed by said phono-stage into ones preamp or integrated.

As I've found the more capable ICs, seemingly present everything downstream, as well as makes of breaks the fundamental signature of the entire system, as the very last IC ( once again the one nearest the source ) works in tandem with the sonics of ones speaker cables ( which could best match ones amp and speakers to begin with ) and then finalize its voicing with said main IC.

Just food for thought.......
