Hi Bruce,
When operating in the calibrated mode, the DAC1 is putting up to 12.26Vrms into the preamp which is undoubtedly overloading the inputs.
Either adjust the calibration pots down, using a voltmeter and test tone, or set jumpers at -10. The difference I believe you are hearing is simply a matter of volume level.
Unless you absolutely need your preamp, why not use the DAC for that and sell the preamp? You acknowledge that it sounds better this way plus you’ll put some cash in your pocket.
Call me if you like.

Subject: audible distortion at 0db jumper setting.
Importance: High
hello, I am using benchmark DAC 1 D/A converter with LHH 500R as CD transport to match with jeff rowland Capri pre-amp and m102s power amp.
Now it seems that I have some matching issue between DAC1 and Capri pre-amp.
DAC1+ pre amp + power amp combo results in less punch and dynamics as compared to DAC1 as pre in variable mode driving power amp.
Also when D/A output jumper set at 0db , there will be audible distortion on the high range which is suspected to be frequency cut-off by the pre-amp although punch and dynamics improved to a great extent.
So in a typical home audio set-up, shall I avoid using 0db setting? However as to my taste, 0db offers great dynamics and punch.
Any solution? Shall I stick to -10db setting and adjust the caliberation trimmer to increase output level?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Bruce Shen |
