Idea for a new component


Thinking it would be nice if someone would make a combination Streamer, DAC and Phono head amp. Cambridge? BAT? Ayre? I'd buy one.

Find your self a used OPPO 105, good condition ones go for around $1000.

@ dweller, Network Streamer/DAC(what kind of inputs do you need),Phono(MM/MC or just MM) & your max budget might be helpful?

Ideally, a 3-in-1 box to match my BAT pre & amp. Instead of three boxes, one box with sufficiently high quality (to match the superlative sound of my BAT components). Six to ten thousand dollar range.

In Solid State design,NAD Master series makes one as does Naim but my $ would go for a SimAudio Moon 390,which I might add also offers a superb headphone circuit..

  Also, I recommend the Mytek Manhattan $6,000 new

Maybe i'm not understanding what a Phono Head Amp is?

I guess what I'd like to see is a combination of components into one package become the norm. Example: Today, you can buy a streamer and you can buy a DAC. Not uncommon these days is a component with a streamer/DAC combination. Just take it a step further and add a quality phono amp (headphone amp would be nice also) and you've got a new component type.

My idea for a new component would be a single run power cord with 3-4 "branches" at the input and output. Would cut down on clutter.

Agree with @freediver . I  have a Moon 390. It is a one of a kind versatile quality component. Tough to beat at this price point. I have hooked up with a Pass XA25 and my Linn LP12. Also use the DAC for my CD to bypass the DAC in the player.
