NAD D3045 vs NAD C268 for KEF LS50 - which amp for greatest synergy with KEF LS50?


The D3045 is $699.99 and the C268 could be gotten for about $630.

C3045 has HDMI port and built-in DAC.  C268 has balanced XLR input but needs external DAC.

I do have an external Xiang Sheng DAC-05A (dual burr brown chips, balanced XLR).

D3045 is more compact, and likely lighter.  I believe it also has a remote.

Damping factor for both appear to be > 300.

I'm trying to determine which would have better synergy with KEF LS50 speakers and can bring the best out of them.

Thanks in advance!

I also use the new NAD M10 With KEF LS50s in my home office.  Very nice integrated amp/streamer/DAC and perfect for my small room.
