I've been using Schiit Gjallahorn (no problem with inefficient speakers for desktop use), Nuforce STA200 and Fosi V3...all have sounded great to me...
Best choice for small form Amp for desktop
Need to redo desktop setup so have to downsize Amp. Looking at used small form integrateds from Bel Canto(5i), W4S (mInt), Peachtree and a few other Class D units to run Spendor S3/5 monitors. Only 85db efficiency does mean I'm looking for 50 or more wrms. Haven't heard any of these but I know some of these use older ICE modules. Does that mean lesser performance? Should I focus on newer executions? IM looking at spending $1k or so as this is a more peripheral system. Appreciate input or suggestions on other brands too.
