Can I run this player thru a passive preamp into the power amp with specswill
listed here?I assume the amp input signal for max output power of 1.6V
allow the players Audio output:Output level: 2 Vrms (1 kHz, 0 dB) . Am Ioutput
understanding these terms correctly?
***
Digital Playback Specs:
Audio D/A converter =24bit / 192kHz
Audio System:Digital audio format =DTS digital output, Dolby Digital
say compared to a player with thse specs run into the same amp remmebering
Surround sound effects= Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (V.S.S.)
Response bandwidth= 4 - 44000 Hz
Digital output sample rate= 48KHz, 96KHz
Signal-to-noise ratio =115 dB
Supported digital audio standards= MP3, WMA
Total harmonic distortion= 0.0025 %
Dynamic range= 102 dB
Sound output mode =Stereo
Audio output:

----------------------------------------------------
Amp specs:
Output Power:
100 W per channel into 8 ½
200 W per channel into 4 ½
(both at less than 1% THD)
Frequency response @ -3 dB:
2 Hz to 200 kHz
Slew rate:
250V/µS
Input impedance:
100 k½ each phase
Input signal for maximum output power:
1.6 V
Output impedance:
0.4 ½
Power supply energy storage:
180 joules
Gain:
25 dB
Power consumption:
250 VA at idle
1000 VA maximum at full power
and on another note, going by the Player specs alone how would you expect
it to sound?
the forst player was run thru a passive pre.
Specifications
FREQUENCY RESPONSE=0.1 Hz to 1 MHz +0 dB, -3 dB
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THP/THD)

not to be overly mysterious the first players specs are that of my $40.00
Panasonic DVD player and the second player specs in this post are of the
Krell KPS 25sc with 24bit/96khz upgrade asking over $1K. I am hoping to
learn from an objectivist standpoint how i might expect my subjective
listening expereince to differ if i spent the thousand pluss on the Krell
rather than a Hundred on a passive preamp for the DVD/CD player.If anyone
cares to explain or point me to resources which can explain how what the
Krell can do, at least from an objectiveist standpoint should deliver a more
completely detailed,clear, coherent sound thus finallly justifying for me
the substantial extra expense.I have not found a way do A/B the two devices
yet but if i can understand how the two machinces handle the job of CD
playback and how the more expensive one does it orders of magnitude better
maybe i'll have more peace of mind when i make my decision.
