@audioman58 i already have a separate set up- streamer, DAC and amp.
i hear you in the Hegel. I will look at that and reach out to the person you mentioned.
@megabyte usually I would be able to ship and amp to the UAE from the US. I have done that a few times. This particular purchase was on USAM from an individual. This means no proper invoice like a shop issued. US custom rules require for any shipped package to have a proper invoice to ensure that a prohibited item is not being being shipped out and to also evaluate the cost.
@echolane will look into that.
