Hi James,
I don't know if this has been covered, (there are already so many pages on this thread), but is there any chance you will offer this DAC with a gain stage (i.e. variable output)? I am sure that there are many of us who have no analogue sources (shame on us!) and a separate preamp not only gives you another box and cords to deal with, but buying all those inputs and outputs when all you need is one seems silly. I realize the growing popularity of the dac/preamp sector opens a can of worms (headphone - yes/no? analogue inputs-yes/no? streaming-yes/no?) but I do think a superb dac that can drive a power amp directly would be a popular product.
Kind regards,
Mark
