Rischa: I too am very interested in the CSP2+. It's either that or a Burson HA-160D (again). If I get the Decware, I'll have to hold on to my current dac. I don't know what to do here. My headphones are the, somewhat difficult to drive, Audeze LCD-2's. I don't know if the Decware will be able to drive the 'phones sufficiently. I guess you didn't get yours yet.
Decware CSP2 +
How good is this as a preamp? How does it compare with much more expensive units? My most recent active tube linestages have been CAT SL1, Joule LA-150MKII SE, and Dodd. Does it compete in that league? If not, how so? The fact I can use it as a headphone amp is just icing on the cake. My current reference is the Lightspeed Attenuator, but I want an RCA-based tube linestage to throw in the mix. This is for a single source CD system.
