A good one yes. Many people like to balance solid state with tube preamp or dac. Again, it depends on the sound you’re looking for from your system. I’m biased, I have a tube amp and preamp. I recently changed to an r2r dac, no more tube dac and really like the balance of detail, clarity with just the right amount of smoothness. I don’t like overly romantic sounding gear or highly precise, technical gear. Keep in mind that I’m all digital, no vinyl. I need to tame the digital a bit. If you listen to mostly vinyl, you already know you like that smooth, easy sound. Try as much gear as possible so you hear different parts of the romantic to analytical spectrum as you can. I think the right dac can make the system. Shop wisely.
dac and streamer or seperates
Want to spend about 5k
System right now is a Krell S-300 love it!
B&W 804's love them too
Well treated medium sized room.
but I'm using the built in streamer and dac.
I would like to take my streaming to the next level.
At 5k would you go separate DAC and Separate Streamer or all in one?
