    Best integrated amp under £4000?

    For that sort of money I would aim higher than an mf6. Personally I would look to 2nd hand market. Devialet 400 can be gotten with warranty for 4-4.5k. that is £12k of amp. Mf nuvista 600 ex demo with warranty for £3k.

    New DAC or Streamer

    Streamer wise I wouldn't consider much more than auralic who offer a stand alone in Aries or streamer / DAC solution. After support is brilliant, continuously developed and the interface is absolutely phenominal now. I ditched my CDs and just stream only. DAC wise I would only really look at...

    National Audio Show - Whittlebury Hall

    That first comment was from my wife. What she meant was that she was expecting a mixture of demo and pitch explaining their products and why you should buy them, questions etc. I have been to a few shows so knew what to expect but think her point was valid.

    Dave Dac is a cracker

    Ellis. I currently have 2qute and Hugo TT on demo. I am not normally an advocate of spending a lot of money on dacs but the Hugo TT does things I didn't think possible so I fear ever hearing a dave. The 2qute and Hugo sound relatively average in comparison.
