I'm a very happy Chord DAVE DAC owner of approximately 4 months and was wondering how fellow DAVE owners have it connected to their speakers.
I have been primarily connecting it in DAC mode running through my Music First Audio Classic MKII Passive Transformer pre-amplifier as I still listen to vinyl and during a short A-B of the DAVE in DAC v Pre-amplifier found I lost some dynamics with the DAVE using its pre-amplifier.
I understand this is counter intuitive as the DAVE in pre-amplifier mode should be more direct, however my MFA pre-amplifier is as neutral as you can get, I will do more exhaustive A-B listening in the immediate future, however was wondering how other DAVE owners had configured it in their speaker setup?
