| Integrated Amp Choices The CODA CSiB is great. So good that I decided to sell it and get the CODA separates (07x and deciding on #8 or #16). The KRELL K-300i integrated is also great. I thought the KRELL was a little smoother and had more bass than the CODA. Both are a ... | |
| Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat Spend about $50K on the electronics and speaker and about $1000 for DSP via Convolution files running on ROON for room issues. This will be a digital only system. | |

I was hoping that Purifi would release a second generation amp module but looking at their web site it seems they have moved onto driver desig... | |

| Penafrips, MHDT Labs DACs versus Integrated amps for home office The preamp and DAC on my NOVA 150 were the weak links from my tests. It was a good unit for the price but I did compare the preamp, DAC, and amp separately and it was clear to me that the amp section was much better.I currently have a pretty good ... | |
