Well I for one like the P1 plus. It's different, and I'm pretty familiar with Douk Audio, so I'm not afraid to consider something new in the form of a "preamp" or dac. Great review.

@hifitommy3 ай бұрын
it seems like a good item to hook up your BT 'phones to and not turn on the main rig. it's small enough to go anywhere you want it to. i already have a couple of good dac/amps for my desktop but it could go nicely in the bedroom.

@SnapperX33 ай бұрын
Looks like a pressure gauge up top. Could we just get a normal preamp, no tubes, no vu meter? I think there is a hole in the market for affordable preamps. Schiit & Emotiva have some options, but not at a $200 pricepoint.
