Hey All, I received my DSD Sr and hooked it up today and all I can say is WOW! I am running B&W 800D3 powered by Sim Audio 1kW Moon Rock Monoblocks and previously was using the Benchmark DAC3 HGC as my DAC/pre-amp. Installing the DSD Sr. has been the most significant improvement to my system sinc…

oops, Houston dealer is at: http://www.limpiasound.com/ Best to email him, he avoids the phone due to constant dealer calls. His name is Don.

I just wanted to follow up and provide feedback with my BHK Pre experience. In my system the BHK Pre had a native hiss that was audible at my listening position. As you recall, the only reason I bought the BHK Pre was because the DSD Sr had an incredibly loud hiss without the attenuator enabled an…

Hi Tony, How are you utilizing the regenerators in your system? Thanks

Good morning! I have two dedicated 20a lines in my stereo room, one P20 will be connected to each. This is my initial thoughts on how I will ‘spread the love’, once I get them in and see how much capacity is being used I may switch the components around to even the load. First P20: Simaudio Moo…

Yup that should do the trick :star_struck: I thought my theatre was trick with 9 speakers and 4 x 15" subwoofers. Enjoy!
