Hi there,
a certain Mr Penguin :wave: has helped me already (audiolab 8000s thread), but I would still like some input from others concerning the Music Fidelity X10v3 tube buffer.
Does anyone have experience of this device or its ilk?
I'm considering sticking it between my denon 4311 & Audiolab 8000s. My music comes from iTunes on my mac mini, to my denon 4311 via optical cable. The 4311 acts as a preamp for the front loudspeakers (B&W P6s) and is then connected to the Audiolab's power-amp-in via Goldkabel interconnects.
I like the sound quality but I'm still after improvements without spending too much. The X10v3 is going for around 100pounds.
I do intend on getting a separate DAC later (irDac, Nad or Denon) but would like to see (better, hear) what else I can do to improve the sound before doing so.
Thanks,
