Having said that the sound quality of the music it makes is certainly not inferior to any preamp I’ve ever heard. The features are also very useful, it’s relatively compact and the price was reasonable.
However if you have high sensitivity speakers and you are the type of person that is going to obsess over minor annoyances, like noises that do not affect playback of actual music, you may be disappointed.

Thanks for the information. That is interesting, as the 17-cubed is supposed to have an extremely low noise floor. Will keep in mind.
