Nos Dac Starting points Systems --> Amplifier Sansui AU 7700 --> Speakers Mission cyrus 781....

Total cost around 400 dollars with a new tuning and replacement of some parts for the amplifier...

It is the best system i ever listen to, but i am not a guy that had listen too many systems, only some good one with magnepans, Tannoy or Quads....

Sound so good when rightfully embedded, that i was proud of myself and very afraid to upgrade it... No hurry and no need.... :)
@high-amp

well better IS better, a lot more expensive too

do not under estimate option 1 - it is utterly brilliant sounding... peter daniels patek is fully deserving if its legendary reputation, and all proacs just shine when the input is right

Well the price is right! 
Ah, Sansui, my first system, way back at the ripe age of 17.
Integrated amp and separate tuner. I just went through 2 pages of Google images to see if I could find the model of the amp, with no luck. Wish I still had it, along with all the other gear I had in the past.
Very interesting DAC you have there:

Both systems using DACs as pre-amps?



@highamp

yes all dacs mentioned have variable analog output volume (if so configured) so are run direct into power amp
