I submit that I'm hearing significant differences between DACS because I use it as preamp directly into my amp. I wonder if the differences are as significant when a preamp is utilized?
I've tried the M1 direct into the amp and with the preamp in the circuit as well.
My Luxman allows me to switch the preamp out if needed. I prefer the preamp in the circuit.
I have not yet heard a DAC direct into an amp that really sounds as good as having a preamp in the circuit.
This is just my experience. I look forward to hearing the new Bricasti M28s driven directly by the M1 though. I hear that is quite a combo...
