Thanks man. Holy smokes, just tried an extra Tara "One" in my box and yes much better. All this time I was ruining my sound....Darn! I have plenty of beter small amps than that. I did not mean that small. The Cullen is 10"x16"x5". Not bigger than that. I think I am going to get the Pass. Balanced is fine and I have more than a few but for Z1R and PS2KE I find it most be a complete SE topology and also Solid State. YMMV but this is kind of known already. I could be happy with what I have but you know Audiophiles always want new gear. Rudistor "looks" better but I prefer not to wait for it. I can have the Pass in 3 day's and let Y'all know how it sounds. If not better or different than ones I have oh well. I do not return things but will sell $350 off on Audiogon, Ebay. I kind of doubt it sucks though. I mean honestly at a minimum the Benchmark DAC3 is "okay". I have much better than that here so I am not hurting lol. I am going to try different dac's too with it. Like MSB Select and Modified Directstream. Yes, I did the Directstream after 2 days HAHA. It stood for improvement and received it. BTW, ever notice real high end dac's do not have a headamp? HMM.
