Re: NVA and the remote volume control convenience

OK thanks. I just read somewhere that running long interconnects from a Passive Pre is not a good idea.

Re: Linear PSU recommendation (perhaps from China)?

Sorry - I believe this is the correct link:

https://support.auralic.com/hc/en-us/ar ... ower-Input

It is 16V in 1A as standard.

The lowest acceptable input voltage is 14V(1.2A) and the maximum is 18V(1A).

Linear PSU recommendation (perhaps from China)?

When enquiring about using a digital volume control in front of an NVA passive pre (I've ordered the NVA P50sa btw) - I thought I would make the most of my Auralic Mini - but Auralic's upgraded PSU is expensive. Is there a Chinese (or other) cheaper alternative that does the job just as well do you ...

Re: NVA and the remote volume control convenience

If using an NVA passive pre - is there a limitation on the length of the interconnect to the power amps (when using your cables of course)?

Re: Speakers that don't require a listener sweet spot.

Re: NVA and the remote volume control convenience

I will probs be getting one then before March comes to an end! I figured that going for the most expensive whilst discounted was the sensible option - I also wanted the A20 too but I’m pushing the pennies a tad too far this Month! I hope I’ve made the right decision based on my logic. The P50sa woul...

Re: NVA and the remote volume control convenience

Re: NVA and the remote volume control convenience

I do have some rothwell attenuators and a -11dB kimber interconnect if that’s what you mean.

Any recommendations for a really good sounding streamer and / or DAC with variable volume?
