Oooohhh; that's just what I wanted to hear. I just ordered a pair of Kimber xlr's and I plan on doing just that.I run XLR's from my D100 to the McPre. Works great and sounds better than the unbalanced RCA connections.

Antoine - according to Oppo the 105 is a fully balanced design from the word go. I bet that does sound good.Looks good in your rack! FWIW, I'm running fully balanced from an OPPO BDP105. SQ is definitely improved this way. Glad I could help answering your questions as best as I could. Enjoy!

You're right but it sure beats hangin out at the Soundesign forumIt's expensive hangin' out here ain't it . . .
Understatement. It takes too many zero left of the decimal point just to slum it around here.It's expensive hangin' out here ain't it . . .
XLR from day one, if at all possible anything I have is connected with is with XLRsWell, you'll have to report on this and let us know. Dan has the same DAC connected to his C100 but I'm honestly not sure if he's using RCAs or XLRs. Dan?
Very good choice, I like Kimber products and wish I had all my XLR IC in Kimber.Oooohhh; that's just what I wanted to hear. I just ordered a pair of Kimber xlr's and I plan on doing just that.
There's another issue lol............now I'm noticing sonic differences in cabling. There I was perfectly happy for years with some better quality Monster speaker cables. Then some MIT's speaker cables came home with me from last weeks audio meet and some Kimbers will be getting added next week.XLR from day one, if at all possible anything I have is connected with is with XLRs

Congrats on the c100 addition to your system and can understand the sonic difference from the C33 you have.
And matched up with your D100 you will not be wanting anything else. Well maybe, a pair of big mac mono blocks would round out the package..That IS amazing for a 20 year old piece of gear. Previous owned seem to invariably mar them up; you're very lucky on that C100.
I can see how a preamp can improve bass, but it's hard for me to imagine how it can eliminate the need for a sub, particularly the bass that can be had from a huge 18" sub. let alone 2 of them. I suppose it must be about quality rather than quantity.
You guys with these dual chassis Mc preamps are killing me. Those TOTL Mc pres are haunting me to try one.

I really can't envision ever replacing my strapped 2500's. Of course you never know if the right deal comes along on a pair of modern mono's all bets are off.And matched up with your D100 you will not be wanting anything else. Well maybe, a pair of big mac mono blocks would round out the package..
You know I still haven't gotten used to that convenience and I still walk over to it to make the adjustments. lolYou haven't mentioned the massive increase in convenience now that you have a remote for your pre.
