    Default Wanted: Dac with Preamp

    Looking for a DAC that also has a preamp built in with a remote also! Up to £500 is my budget.

    Cheers all

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around

    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    If you don't need a phono stage then the first model Quad Vena is a very versatile DAC with a respectable integrated amp ... but also has outputs to use as a Preamp:
    Couple on the bay at the moment under your budget:

    I have had one for a couple of years now and been very pleased with it

    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.”

    “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!”
