I cannot say enough about the Mimas, it’s a total sleeper. As far as the integrated DAC it’s a solid inclusion and fits it like a glove sonically. I actually cannot think of anything that competes at this cost point or possibly double. It’s extremely musical and has plenty of go. A great amp and I have had conversations with others who use the phono card with excellent results. Plus if you feel compelled upgrade the pre tubes for even more musicality. Super Integrated.
