Do you need the DAC that is provided by the 3020D? If not I would look for a used 325BEE which should run ~$200-$250 in good condition or a 326BEE for ~$100 more. What would the C350 cost you?
What NAD amplifier to get?
I'm getting an amplifier for a third system, so wouldn't like to spend much.
My options are a NAD C350, C316BEE or a 3020D. If I stretch a bit I could get a Micromega Myamp. Last option, Audiolab M-PWR. This will be driving a B&W speaker, CDM1, but I might change this later on...
The C350 is rather old, C316BEE is discontinued and I'd have to wait a bit to get the 3020D... The C350 I could get as a good used deal locally, which is pretty rare...
I just got the CDM1 and was a bit disappointed with the sound resolution, I'm used to a better sound. So not too confident on getting an old amp, except if it's really worth it.
Feedback is appreciated,
thanks
