I have a problem with navigation on your site so I probably missed the post explaining why preamp should bare the response for absolute transparency ?You reserve the right for the amp to inject an X factor and the sources can do what they wish also the speaker should be tought to recognize the true value of the performance but preamp should just get out of the way .Why should I resist the temptation to inject a little X factor in my preamp (ss buffer , oil cap or silver wire ) if my sources or the rest of the chain is lacking that factor .I mean it probably would not be that difficult to make an amp bypass test with the phones .Put the phones on the suitable pre output and then connect amp and hook up the phones on the amp output if anything change that mean the amp is not transparent .You explained that you are able to use your unforgiving tl0 transport only because of relatively soft character of Bidat Dac .Are you compensating or they just naturally compliment each other?Rgrds, WRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
