An additional thought regarding the above. If you are doing so, set the output from the phone to fixed (vs. variable). You will be using the preamp to control gain / volume. Your phone may automatically do this, expecting volume to be controlled by the connector to the headphones. Best to check and make sure.
Newbie question.
I have a pretty nice older system. I don’t know a lot about high end audio. I’m learning about flac files and am interested in trying that out. Trying not to spend any serious money since I don’t know what I’m doing yet. And I have a question that is probably pretty dumb.
My system consists of a nice older (10-15 years old) pre-amp and amp. I’m using a new Sony tuner/amp/receiver with pre-out connectors into the pre-amp to listen to the radio. It has a 1/8 jack input port. If I have flac files on my iPhone and route them through this 1/8 inch jack into the Sony and then into the pre-amp.....am I defeating the purpose of using a lossless file format?
