Looking to start putting my music on computer. Jolida amp with mods and CD player, feeding Merlin VSM-MMe. Just spent the budget on the Merlins, so will go lower end on the DAC. Both of these seem to get good reviews for the money. Any thoughts?
I have the second generation HRT Streamer the 150.00 one, sounds great with my Merlin TSMXe speakers. I like it, the Emotiva may have more options though..........
For a cheap dac I would recommend the XDA-1 if you prefer neutral sound and a remote and the Maverick Audio/Grant Fidelity tube dac if you want some "flavor". I currently use the Emotiva with a Sansui 919 and Paradigm speakers and LOVE the sound. A friend of mine has the Grant Fidelity and it also sounds excellent for the money....
