Hello Friends,
I have a query regarding the sterio system chain. Wanting to understand.
[Source] -> [DAC] -> [Preamp] -> [Poweramp] -> [Speakers]
Let us say we have above chain in the sterio setup then what are the options that can be put into the second and third boxes?
Options:
1. Use dedicated DAC and dedicate Preamp
2. DACs that can be used as Preamp
3. Preamp having DAC (?)
4. Integrated amp as Preamp (No DAC here?)
How do the above options compare and WHY?
Would like more information on 2nd option.
Also, which are good DAC+Preamp options?
Any preamps/integrateds having a DAC in it, any options here?
Thanks in advance!
