Lot's of good suggestions. I have vintage Whatmough 202 Leadline monitors which use (modded) Focal drivers. After trying a lot of amps, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they paired with bel canto dac3.7 and amps. That smooth their bright nature thing and gives them more dynamics and solidity of the images. Best of luck.
Integrated amp + dac for Focal
Hello!
Looking for recommendations for an integrated amp with built-in DAC. Main inputs will be mac mini usb + optical for mostly 2ch music and some HT use. Will be used with Focal Aria 948 in 8 X 15 x 38 ft room. The NAD C372 with a Cambridge DacMagic 100 is what I'm looking to replace with the new unit.
I'd prefer to buy used and like:
Pass X250 (keeping the dacmagic dac)
Parasound Halo Integrated "HINT 6" 160 W
Cary si-300.2d
What do you think?
Thank you!
