Best DAC to go with Aurender N100H?
Mabonn,An Aurender N100H will sound good with any dac.There are way more good dacs then just the ones you have mentioned.You should determine the kind of sound and qualities you like and what you want to bring out in your system.The Chords tend to... 
Focal Utopia Scala V2 or Persona (9H/7F)
Atacgene,We don’t sell the Focals, the Kantas are good the Sopras are much better.As per Kantas vs Personas both are really good, we prefer the more holographic imagey of the Personas and their incredible coherency and more detailed sound.The Kant...

Tigen, Sorry to disappoint, you but we are not trying to sell you anything!First you state that you have your own opinions and then you throw out to the floor as it will with your questions to see what other people think of the pairing of the Magi... 
WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE?
OP after looking at your system one of the bottle necks is your interconnects and speaker cables. Transparent cables are actually not that transparent, and we are willing to believe that if you dd your last source demo with new non network interco...

Marklarsen and Tugen5 please have your class D, rules party. One thing was fascinating that in the very review we found prasing the amps the reviewer also found a whole bunch of areas where a conventional amplifier was far better sounding that was...

Tgun you are using a tube preamp and a dsd based dac your results are going to be different than others using these amps with different gear also Martin Logans are shelved in the extreme top end.We are delighed you love your gear many people have ...

Guess Testpilot also feels the sameTo answer your direct question, yes the REF600 will drive the Magico A3, but I agree with Audio Troy's assessment regarding the dry sounding nature of the REF600 which may become more evident with the hyper detai... 
WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE?
Op here is our take on what direction you should takePersonally we would recommend that you try a high end ref integrated.We know you tried a Luxman and it clipped there are better sounding and much more powerful integrated amplifiers.Before clipp...

Mark larsen we know many of these reviewers do you honestly think because someone writes for a magazine they know more or can magically hear better? 
Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?
Mark Larsen sorry to disagree but look at a few other reviews on this amp. Another reviewer prefered an Anthem M1 which is an okay sounding amp at bestNor did we recommend any amp in our previous posts we did say the Anthem STR was similarily pric...

Sorry Tgun If you owed a store for any length of time you would know the answer.If you want the A3 you would bring in a pair and try them out with your system. Unless anyone here has exactly the same setup and your tastes the answer is of very lit...

Thanks EBM. Did you notice from our first post we said that those amps with a tube preamp and a warmish digital front end that such a combo could sound good.The later post from the OP showed exactly that combo was what he was using. Kind of verify... 
Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?
No Tgun, we don't like Bel Canto's Class D, don't like Hypex nor Ncore, We have heard some Class D amplifiers that were decent, the fact that you owned a high end store 15 years ago doesn't mean anything, almost all of the modern amplifiers around... 
Roon Nucleus vs Innuos
Dep most people find that the Dac will only sound as good as what you feed it. The Salk Streamer is a fine piece but would it be in the class of an Innous don’t think so. The Salk steamer looks to be a mini pc running tweaked Linux and Roon. There...
