Hi lengcm,

Welcome to the VR forum!

I don't believe that I have many customers here on this forum using their LIO to drive active speakers,
but I hope some will chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

What are your thoughts on the Kii? Impressions from regular folks is hard to come by on those.

Thanks in advance

I'll bet that combination sounds amazing.

Post by: hubi on 14 Feb 2017, 07:54 pm: Hi Lengcm

you are not all alone. I use a LIO with DHT Pre and the LIO DAC Module with active studio monitors: PSI Audio A14-M (http://www.psiaudio.com/en/our-products/a14-m-studio/). I've choosen the loudspeakers before the LIO. I found this loudspeakers "by chance" and was immediatly impressed. So then I was looking for an appropriate Pre and there my choice was the LIO. In the meantime I have upgraded to the DHT PRE, sounds just wonderful. I can use this combination for low volume listening and it sounds great in a very difficult room because of comfortable nearfeald listening. I've no experience with the LIO and passive speakers, but can confirm the combination with active speakers is great.

Best.
Hubert

A familiar theme from Darko and all the more reason to want a Vinnie Rossi power supply for active speakers.
