The Emo XDA-1 is a good DAC, no worries there. The question is, do you like the AirMotiv speakers? I find the ribbon tweeter to be a bit strident, but others disagree. Ya better listen and choose what pleases you...

beginner budget set up
Two SUPER buys out there. Your total cost (before cables) is just under $400. For your amp, from Emotiva ... Emotiva mini X a-100 now on sale for $175. For your speakers, from Energy ... Energy RC10 at $220. At $220, the RC10's are a steal ($600 list). They are a very smooth sounding speaker with good bass. I used them for a few years and they were good performers. Rich |
