A higher idling power means more pure Class-A output. However, traditionally, it also leads to a larger transformer, bigger heat-fins, more power caps, and increased production\/transportation costs. While some elitist amps boast about this specification, most in the industry keep it quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TK-GT draws 100W at idle, delivering the first 30W in pure Class-A.

But is a preamp still necessary when today’s DACs and portable players already handle volume control?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA preamp’s often overlooked function is adding gain to the DAC output (6dB single-ended, 12dB balanced), which typically requires an additional buffer stage in most DACs and portable players.
