HiCap 2 DR to power Superline OR SuperNait2

Posted by: Paulie on 23 January 2017

Question is in the topic line.....

I'll try both, but just wondering what other's experiences have been. More bang for the sonic buck just powering the Superline or can you power the SN2 off the HiCap DR and receive the same benefit? Clearly two HiCaps would be the play..... but not an option at present.

Thanks!

Hmm, difficult one. If the Superline is by far your most important source, then that's the way to go. If not, then go through the amp but the uplift in Superline performance is not as high, though I wonder how noticeable the difference would be considering the variables in the rest of the system.

Listen mainly to vinyl off a REGA RP 10 with an Apehta 2 cart into the Superline. 2nd most used source would be digital files off a MacBook Pro into a DAC V1.... Thanks Frank.

I suspect powering the superline with the ps will provide the most impact... beauty of it is though that you can try it both ways and let your ears be the judge :-)

You have already started a topic about that a few days ago. What do you want to hear exactly? That way we can just say it and get on with it....

Superline.   SN already has a PSU.  But nothing to stop you experimenting.
