791 Network Player / Preamplifier

Switched from my old separate phono box and DAC chain to this all-in-one and the difference is night and day. The built-in phono stage handles my cartridge with zero hum, and the streaming DAC sounds clean through my whole setup. Took about an hour to dial in the preamp gain, but now it's the heart

I’ve been using this preamp for a few weeks and the streaming DAC integration is seamless—I can finally ditch my separate box for Tidal. The phono stage handles my old vinyl with zero noise, which surprised me for a digital-first unit. It just sounds clean and effortless every time I fire it up.

The phono stage in this thing is dead quiet, which I didn't expect from a combo unit. Running my turntable and streaming through one box keeps the rack simple, and the analog preamp section sounds clean at low volume too.
