Differences in sound: DAC vs. DAC + Pre-amplifier


Recommended Posts

All very interesting. Have a decent system, nothing fancy. Stream Amazon HD via computer USB. And CDT transport, Audiolab 6000CDT. Double impact speakers Tekton,  Peachtree AMP 500 ClasssD, and their newest preamp referred to as a Pre Dac 4 ESS sabre 9018 or 0928 chips per channel. SVS sb 4000 sub.

     Love the way it sounds. However, now looking for an outboard DAC (Not sure exactly why, searching for that better sound?)  Seriously looking at the Benchmark DAC3 HGC. He suggested that Unit as a DAC/Preamp  to my AMP,to replace my Peachtree Preamp. He believed the Benchmark DAC3 as a DAC/Preamp would surpass my current combo, it was that good. He then suggested I live with that for a while,  and that I would be very happy.  He recommended the Benchmark LR4 preamp down the road for an added benefit.
