    I wouldn't buy one just for it's pre. It's not good enough but if not stressed then it sounds very decent. Justin does like it loud

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It does distort above about 65% volume on the preamp, as Grant says.

    Also, I listen via some killer speakers and can hear a lot more than most mere mortals as a result.

    Just because I can easily hear degradation in preamp mode doesn't mean others will.

    I personally think the truth is always better than hiding it.

    It's a crazy good DAC for the price with limitations.

    I strongly recommend it.

    I totally agree there should be transparency of opinions in sales threads as if only positive comments can be made it skews opinions to help the potential buyer to judge. However I've seen threads like this tidied up before and think there should be consistency. It's up to the OP at the end of the day.
