Hi Guys,
After reading online that many reviewers and owners of the Dave had stated that Dave used as a preamp was astounding!
I was a little miffed!
I initially setup Dave on day one as Preamp/Dac and was not impressed, actully I was quite disappointed, so I swapped back to my LDR preamp, and was loving the sound and emotion
Then last night, I had a eureka moment and thought I wonder if after nearly 2 weeks of use and run in period if Dave's preamp sound would have changed
So with that I swapped over the cables and switched Dave from DAC only mode to Preamp/Dac and listened intently,
Wow, wow, wow, everything was different, and the clarity, and layering had significantly changed for the better.
Now I get it, and yes the preamp section of Dave is amazing, if you have only ever heard Dave's preamp section before the full run in period and thought it sound a little flat and thin, I would strongly suggest you give Dave another go as a Preamp/Dac
The difference after run in period is literally night and day
Anyways just my opinion,
I thought I would share and would like to hear if other members here have had the same experience?
Thanks for reading
Cheers
Deano
