Quick question for you @mgrif104. You write: "If I were to do it over - I would pair their 800 series preamp/DAC with the 761 amp which I own already." Are you currently using the 791? Did you (or anyone else on this thread) ever compare the 891 to the 791, holding the 761 power amp fixed? Thanks.
Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates?
I own a Moon Audio 861 amp. Right now I have a McIntosh mc12000 preamp and a eversolo A8 streamer. With Focal N1 Sopra speakers (that I am happy with). Obviously, with the streamer I am not getting the best sound I can from my Moon amp.
So, I decided I will sell my McIntosh M12000 pramp (it's so beautiful, it hurts to let go of it) and use the money for a dac/streamer/preamp.
I was thinking about the Moon 891 streamer/preamp/dac. It makes sense because I have the Moon 861 amp. But 25k is so much money, I was wondering... would it be better to use that money on a nice streamer and dac instead? Like a 10k on a streamer and 10k on a Chord dac? Or would it be best to stick with the Moon 891 for the synergy between that any my Moon amp? Looking to get the best sound I can from my amp.
