Title: Not sure of the differences b/n the UF02 and SE341
Post by RogerAM on 10/05/22 at 19:36:14

I'm going to order one of the above amps and looking for guidance:

Speakers are Tekton DI (4 OHMs & 98db). I'm new to the tube world. Mostly hear CDs and streaming, all genres. Will add vinyl in the future so I want to be prepared. Will the 4 inputs offered on the SE341 suffice or do I just get a pre amp for the UFO2. How do Decware users stream through the components? Any advantages or disadvantages of one amp over the other? Seems like SE341 is more flexible. Thanks in advance.

My experience is with an earlier version of the Zen amp and the SE34I but in comparison to the Zen amp the SE34I is slightly more "forgiving" and warmer, and just a bit more powerful sounding. With the additional inputs it would be a great amp for your system now and in the near future.

I don't stream so can't answer that second question. I have SEUFO3 Monoblocks with the Anniversary Mods and I use a DAC as the source for a CD/SACD transport and the digital output from a phono preamp/ADC converter and run the DAC into a ZTPRE preamplifier.

Hi Roger,

I stream from my Cambridge CXNv2 to amp, there are variations on this chain, but that's the basic lineup. You might want to explore some of those variations if you haven't already - e.g., ZBIT.
