1. All my audio comes from the computer (streams or mp3)
    2. My Cambridge C70 pre-amp needs some repairs
    3. My DAC is just a cheap USB dongle

    Given that, why not Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital? Seems like it should replace the dongle with a much better DAC and the C70 with a crackle free volume knob, all in a much smaller package. Anybody see any downside/alternative?

  • Looks good that, the only thing I have found is that when I plugged my dac (with pre-amp) into the preamp in on my amplifier it didn't sound nearly as good as using it as a line-level source and turning off the preamp mode. No idea why, don't think that ought to be the case.

    You'll enjoy streaming full MQA audio from Tidal if you're a subscriber.

    Edit, you have a power amp not an integrated, you'll most likely be golden.

    Edit again, this little combo is a bit of a bargain.
