Is there a Pre with a dac included out there in the $2500 used that does a good job. I stream Tidal from my computer; no phono needed. I use Bel Canto 600ref mono's for amps. Thanks Gary
I have the C510 (same internals as M51) and would say it's very detailed & doesn't have any glaring faults. I recently auditioned the Codex and found it just a little bit better all around (but not enough to feel it was worth the price to upgrade). The following week I heard the Chord Hugo2 and that just seemed to do everything right. Saving my money for one now.
If you want to save some money for other parts of your setup, The Emotiva Stealth DC-1 gets really good reviews. It comes with a remote, one set of RCA inputs, a Balanced DAC, and a great headphone amp.
