Dear FM,
I have given a try on the combination of below and here is my input
1. Set up
Marantz NA6005(Network Player) -> Arcam FMJ19(CD In) -> Preout of FMJA19 -> Exposure 2010 (Power amp) -> B&w 684
Conclusion : Outstanding vocals and very pleasent no harshness at all.. Just loved it and finalized.
2. Marantz NA6005(Network Player) -> Arcam FMJ19(CD In) -> B&w 684
Conclusion: Here I am not using exposure and hence I see harshness and vocals are not so detailed
My Question and confusion:
1. Does FMJ A19 act as DAC if I use it as Preamp and is that overiding the dac of Marantz player? ( I know the marants is sending the analog output)
2. I am feeding the analog out of the marantz and what is that actually FMJa19 doing here?
3.Why does it sound so bad when driven through its own power amplifier sections but it so pleasent when connected to exposure as external power amplifier..
I might sound dumb.. but I am lost in finding the answer..
Regards,
San
