Title: DAC1 > ? > Neat mystique
Post by: Govt Mule on March 03, 2011, 11:26:19 AM

Looking to make a change in my playback systems. I'm thining DAC1 as a D/A pre, into a yet to be determined amp into my existing Neat speakers. And suggestions for the power amp? my room is about 15 x 30. I have looked at so many I am blinded by the choices. I am considering Naim, but am looking for any other suggestions.

I love the new version!  I got to heard it with a set of Joseph Audio monitors (and a VTL tube amp) at RMAF and loved it.  Its a giant killer when you consider the USB functionality, the audiophile quality HP amp, and full preamp ability of it.  Its on a looooooong list of shit I want.

Here it is with Studio Electrics speakers, they sounded nice, but nothing like the Joseph audio did...
