Yes, got pre back, all working again (PS PCB, had to get from Classé in Montreal). Have both DACs connected to U1m, DAVE for headphones at the moment. Will go back to comparisons through the main speakers with the May at some point soon, but honestly just enjoying music!
Yes, the U1m I have restored to 85 output level, had to reduce to 30 (Min) to run the DAVE direct to amp, and that worked just fine. I was impressed with the Leedh processing, can’t hear a shift in noise floor or detail with even such a radical change in the level.
Thx Peter.
