I heard a pair of focal sopra’s with a Naim uniti star and thought it was too much detail. Bright is another way to say it. I can understand why some like their music that way. So much detail. , But, maybe use caution there. I haven’t seen any recommendation for Peachtree. Used to be made in Canada then went to China now made again in Canada. Some, but not all models have a tube pre-amp stage to add some sweetness to the mix. I would think that could be a good combo of some of the great suggestions above. All come with DACs so at least I’m ticking the boxes to meet your criteria.
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!
