I do however prefer the simpler fascia of the 40 over the 10.... And I liked the Ref 2 pre fascia better than the 40.... But in that case the sound difference won out |

Both can be considered in a very small group of great preamps. I also still love my KXR too.

Is it possible to connect the AR Ref Dac simultaneously and directly to a speakers amp and an headphone amp?
In my Ayre preamp I use the tape out to reach the headphones system...

You have to manually put the volume to a desire level. Can you understand why I'm trying to say ? I'm a 95% of time a vinyl guy. I have for a DAC a $400 unit (wyred4sound), imagine that. Most of the time my server first use if for let my tubes warm up or when I have visitors and drinks are a most. The sound is very good from the MS-1 but not even close from what I got from the analog side of my system. I now if I use the DaC8 will be something else. How then are connecting your RefDac ? And thank you for your kind words. Sent from my iPad using A.Aficionado |

A few questions for your review: Which input(s) did you use for comparisons? Have you compared inputs? Did you do your DA only comparisons with the volume set to unity gain? Thanks Bill |

Mark if you had come by to see DC and I at your local ARC dealer a few weeks ago you might think differently. |
