Emotiva is a toy compared to the Parasound integrated amp. I use one 8 hours a day in my secondary system powering Golden Ear Triton Two speakers and it sounds wonderful. I had an Emotiva Dac around 5 years ago and quickly sold that piece of junk. It was so bright, it could rip your ears off.
Newbie looking for amplifier advice
Hello
After much painful research, I decided to purchase a Ryan R610. I heard Sonus Faber, Dynaudio, Magnepan etc but decided that a bookshelf is the best fit for my apartment living room.
Room is 19x12x8 with carpeted floor and huge glass window. I have been advised Belles Aria but wondering if there is a DAC integrated around $2500 which can match this amp.
Specifically, the Parasound Halo catches my attention but am concerned about DAC longevity and have been hinted that Parasound isn't such a value for money as, say, Emotiva.
Anyone run a Ryan/Belles combination?
