If it were me, I'd go with the Vidar and see how it pairs with your Sonica. If you feel its too dry/clinical, you can always add a tube preamp or even a Freya later to add some warmth and juice up the soundstage and still stay under your budget.
should I go with the rega brio or schiit vidar
I have a set of ryan 610 speakers and a oppo sonica dac. My old adcom amp just died and I need to replace it. I was looking at these two options, the rega brio or schiit vidar Any help would be appreciated. Other suggestions would also be appreciated. I would like to stay under 2k. Thanks in advanced.
