Preamp to pair with CA 851w
Hi all - I'm looking to add DAC and preamp separates to my existing set up (Monitor Audio RS6 and Cambridge Audio 851W) and considering a Schiit Gungnir multibit and Freya+ combo. I'm honestly a bit lost on how to determine synergy between the Freya and CA 851W. Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts on how they'll pair? I've added some specs below to help. Thanks in advance!
