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?
thanks rkt31, the speakers are pretty much already fully toed in, firing to just behind the listening position. the eq really is a last resort as i have tried pretty much everything now.
Please at which value in ns do you estimate that LF drifts or LF jitter are audible ?
Just curious since I am used to deal with them in non audio applications (Telecom).
Thanks.
Rgds.

rob watts, would there be any benefit in including an eq feature in the dac itself, such as low shelf filter, so that those with room bass boom issues could optimise sound? or would this distroy transparancy and sq?
