Th Bartok arrived and sounds wonderful. I am very happy with the purchase now I have to figure out if I need the C22 in the chain or just use the Bartok as the pre.
Streamer and DAC for Mcintosh MC462 and C22
Hi I have been upgrading my system.
I have an MC462 Amp, C22 Pre and Revel 228BE speakers.
Currently I am running a node 2 into a Berkeley Alpha dac 2 for streaming.
I am going to upgrade these 2 and I am trying to decide what to buy.
Either a 1 piece combo like a Lumin or a streamer and dac.
My budget is 10 to 15K.
Some of the Dacs I have been looking at:
Chord TT2 and M scaler
Aqua
Lumin S1 or X1
Total Dac
Streamers include:
Lumin U1or U1 mini
Moon Mind 2
Auralic G1 or G2
Innuos
I would say I lean more toward analog sound. I would like something I can listen to without fatigue.
Basically question 1 - 1 box or 2?
And what to buy ?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
