That's right I remember now. Nothing odd about Meridian amps, so it should be fine.Quote:

Enough torque to pull a tank.
Just read that some folks had issues with Pre90's gain in their system.
Happily Im ok.
More I read of this wee preamp I like it.
Can confirm though the remote is the work of Satan.
Its terrible, even tried reprogramming the AppleTV remote with it as a workaround, even that didn't work.
It's just a shame they didn't keep the orange display from the E and D series DACs.
I might have got one otherwise.
Really nice gear that.
I did not notice it, as I bought my Pre 90 second hand, so the “burn in” was already done.Quote:

Might sound like you about to throw something away but extensive testing by Oli and myself showed that the soundstage was affected badly.
It was as if the performers were 8 feet wide rather than focussed where and how you would expect them.
Be ineresting to hear if you get the same result.
Thanks for that Alan... interesting.
Yeah,
Had thought the PLL was one of the "killer features" and best to leave well alone?
Most comments online seem to be about the delay in playback with it on, just assumed it was a pain worth enduring for the inprovement in sound.
Once my May has some time on it and beds in (Its all over the place atm) I'll try that and report back.
As a Holo Dac owner,
Keen to get others experience with it, you alright for a call at the weekend Alan?
Yes no problem Gaz. Will be travelling on Saturday morning so best avoid.
Incoming...

This things small, but VERY heavy.
Solid metal construction, could take a burglar out with it.
About the size of a Beresford Dac.
Its very VERY Red.
Wish it was black but hey-ho… guess it’s called Red for a reason.
Plug it in and let it warm up a bit before putting some music through it.

Be using this review HERE:

to help with setting it up.
I'll use it mainly as a Roon endpoint into the Dac over i2s, will be replacing the Oppo 203 for that.
Reckon the right tool for the right job will apply in this case?
Its built to go with Holo Audio dacs, was a good call this over other options.
Lots to research with this thing, do that when it's bedding in.
