Thanks guys. Sorry for belated response. I totally agree about the Nova insofar as build quality, etc.---something about it seems a little plasticky. The Bel Canto is built like a tank. James63, yes to the Benchmark rec---I am myself leaning towards that option, and maybe that unit... bypassing the whole preamp question entirely.
Bel Canto s300iu versus Peachtree Nova: thoughts?
Power? Sound? Ease-of-use?
The Peachtree has tubes, of course. The Bel Canto seems to be known for an outstanding DAC, and has that USB connection.
Or if anyone has a better idea for an integrated amp or setup under 2k that would serve a largely computer-based system.... (Squeezebox and standalone DAC?)
Thanks!
