Bill, thank you for your reply. I take it from your answer that it was felt that the Phasure was "benefiting" from the Preamp. And that without the Preamp the Phasure would be rated lower. If that is correct then...
IMHO that is an unfair assumption and one that goes against the design and intended use of the Phasure NOS1 DAC. It was specifically designed to be used WITHOUT a Preamp.
I understand you were running out of time but then if you all thought there was a "Preamp effect", and the Phasure is designed to be used without a preamp, I would think it would be the one to try and see if not using a preamp made a positive or negative gain.
I am not trying to criticizing you and I appreciate the feedback from the GTG. I am just pointing out, IMHO, some oversights or missteps.
