Can an expert please settle an argument between my old man and me.
He has put together a system comprising NAP 300 with power supply with a Naim DAC and Hard drive boxes (not sure of models, HDX?) again with 555 power supplies. His source is an apple pc. He does NOT have a Pre-Amp simply using the volume control on Apple. No other source such as vinyl, C.D used.
He seems to think he does NOT NEED A PRE-AMP?
Surely a Pre-Amp such as NAC 252 does more than simply provide control for different sources?
I thought the Pre-Amp provide a wider sound stage and refined the sound?
My Dad thinks Naim are taking the piss and you only need Pre-Amp to switch between different sources.
Please tell me he is barking mad?
