power amplifier suggestions with BelCanto Dac3

I appreciate the offers to consider. I should note I have a full shelf available and no need for a compact power amp. Not that I rule the siblings out. The current Bel has to share a bunk so it worked great for me that way. I have a Bryston 4B connected to get by. Not a match I'd want to live with long term.   

What don't you like about the Bryston and what sound reproduction characteristics are most important to you?  Great DAC by the way.  If there's any way to upgrade to the VBS do it.  The difference between stock and VB is not small. 

I like it fine just not for this application, I prefer something more musical and warmer without sacrificing detail. Smoking good amps though, I do have other uses for it when needed.   

McCormack and Ayre would be two worth exploring.  Best of luck. 

I had a Bryston with my DAC 2.5 and found it to be too bright and "etched," as some might say; so, I popped in the Ref500s which fleshed out the harmonics and has a fuller mid-range presentation. I put a PS Audio AC-12 on the Ref500s and that gave me about as much low end as I was getting out of the Bryston, with none of the brightness up top.

The Ref500s does NOT have the soundstage or sophistication of the Pass X150.5 I once had, but it’s half the cost and a fraction of the size. I agree with the previous poster about an Ayre amp.
