Integrated Amplifier for Bowers & Wilkins 702 S2

I tested both the Michi X3 and Hegel H390 using their internal DACs from a music streamer and settled on the H390. Both are good, but the overall sound of the Hegel was more refined where it made listening more relaxing, the Michi had a slight edginess by comparison. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, but my summation was the dac in the Hegel was the reason it sounded better to me. If you plan to ever get an external dac I recommend trying them with one, it might make your mind up. I own Spendor speakers, so different sound to your B&Ws.

Are you in USA? If you are call John Rutan at Audio Connection. You need a Belles American made integrated amp. They are under 5k but compete with amps over 10-20k.

I have a 200wpc Mark Levinson 585 on usaudiomart for around your budget! Original it was $12K! They don’t come more effortlessly powerful and neutral. A true window into the recording.
