I tested both the Michi X3 and Hegel H390 using their internal DACs from a music streamer and settled on the H390. Both are good, but the overall sound of the Hegel was more refined where it made listening more relaxing, the Michi had a slight edginess by comparison. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, but my summation was the dac in the Hegel was the reason it sounded better to me. If you plan to ever get an external dac I recommend trying them with one, it might make your mind up. I own Spendor speakers, so different sound to your B&Ws.
Integrated Amplifier for Bowers & Wilkins 702 S2
Hello,
I have a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 702 S2. Right now I drive those speakers with my Vincent SV-737 Hybrid Amp. I’m considering adding a Gold note DS-10 plus Dac with Power supply. Vincent has not XLR output. I am looking for a powerful and high quality integrated Amp that will work in harmony. My budget around 5K. I’m asking you for advice.
Thank you
