Greetings! We always recommend to use a proper analog preamp along with the DAC in the stereo audio system for various reasons - sonic performance - being one of the most important reason. DENAFRIPS released three preamps to pair with its DAC lineup. From the entry level Hestia, mid-tier Hades and the flagship Athena, there will be one that fits your needs. DENAFRIPS preamps are Unity Gain (0 dB), Discrete Class A Buffer, True Balanced, Relay-based Volume Attenuator. The DENAFRIPS Hestia and Hades are highly similar. Hades comes with the premium offering of:
Beefed up with an 80VA O-Core transformer
Improved low noise linear power supply
Precision matched tight tolerance through-hole resistors
Curious to find out which one may suits your better? Check out the following video! Happy reading watching!
"...and really, amplifiers within this price range, I do think that the Hades and the Thallo is a better match with majority of the loudspeakers out there in terms of its sound signature! - NBT STUDIO"
