The M33 has a preamp out, although it is single ended. The AP amps accept either SE or balanced.
So I can use the M33 as streamer / DAC / pre and the signal can then go to either the M33's own Purifi amp or to the AP amps. In fact I have an amp switcher that will allow direct comparison without changing cables each time.
Ralph suggests a 400 or so hour burn in before optimal sound quality. Hopefully I'll notice a worthwhile improvement over the M33, although I have my doubts as the M33 is so very good!
I', planning an upgrade to the front end by changing the M33 with the new M66 when it's released. Again I'm hoping for a worthwhile SQ improvement. It certainly has a better DAC (9038 vs 9028) a better volume control and more comprehensive Dirac Bass Control, although I'm unlikely to use that feature if it's anything like Dirac Live or RoomPerfect.
I'll post impressions is a week or two
