Hello all,
Should I use a preamp with a headphone amp if I am using only one source?
I use a PSAudio Direct Stream Sr. which, for example, can be used without a preamp, but it sounds 15% better with a pre, so I use it.
I am going to purchase a QuickSilver headphone and am wondering,
1-preamp main line out (and it is a line pre), or
2-preamp tape out which is by definition line level, but I believe the whole preamp is line level, or
3-should I go straight from the DAC to the headphone amp?
And of course I will experiment and decide what I think is best, but I just want some findings based on other's experiments
What you you guys think?
