as a disclaimer, i deal raidho speakers. i have really enjoyed using arc separates with mine so i would not hesitate to throw an arc dsi200 in the mix. i have also had some beautiful music with an ayon integrated, though for the type of music i like i found solid state to be more airy and expansive - playing to the raidhos strength
Looking for an integrated amp with dac to match Raidho x1
I am currently playing (mac mini streaming) with a Devialet 220 pro on the X1's (combined with Velodyne subwoofer) which sounds great!
but for several reasons (safe money) I like to downgrade my amp withoout losing too much functionality and soundquality.
So far I am thinking in the lines of:
cyrus dac 8
hegel h160
nuprime ida 8 or 16
naim uniti
i prefer a clean one box solution but if multi box solutions would significantly raise Sq then I'm open to suggestions.
I like the clean Devialet sound with lots of detail and holographic soundstage. Listen to jazz, acoustic, blues but also pop and watch movies via AV receiver.
What would be your shortlist?
