What Integrated Amp do You use

Hi tomic601
Re the AESTHETIX MIMAS ... I am seriously considering that integrated (my speakers are the newest Vandy 2CE Sig III).

I’m considering getting their DAC in it, but I also am intrigued by the Holo Spring 3 and the Denafrips Pontus 2, or maybe the Schitt Yggdrasil. I am especially interested in R2R laddered resistor DACs.

How do you like the Aesthetix DAC? How would you rank it compared to DACs in the $2000-3000 range? How would you describe the character of it?

THANKS!

Hegel H190. Very pleased so far.

Currently using the Yamaha A-S1200.  Mixed bag here.  I got it because it was designed like my old amp...dual Mosfet. However after hook up. it made my 42 year old HPM 100's sound like MUD!! 

Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad DAY!  Tone control was no rescue.
I hooked my Monitor Audio Silver 8's to the Yamaha A-S1200, They were already good speakers, but man these things were hummimg through this machine.  I also hooked up a pair of Energy C3 speakers with just as much pleasure.

Because I simply refuse to give up my HPM's that I enjoy everyday...the Yamaha is now up for SALE!  Too refined for my old babies!

Like a couple others here I’ve owned a Bryston B60 for 21 years. It was quite a stretch to buy back then as I was waiting tables. Great little unit but I am tempted to try the new Parasound NewClassic 200 as it seems to have all the right bells and whistles I would love in the Bryston. Anyone tried the Parasound? 

Bakoon Amp 5521.Somehow combines extreme clarity and resolution without sounding analytical or cold.
