Arcam Solo Mini or Denon m37 DAB ?

[admin_exported]

I have owned and lisened to a LINN CLASSIK for the past six years and it's been good.It has a problem and cannot be repaired economically. The space I am now in is smaller and I fancy DAB with what I buy. I am thinking of buying one of the above. I guess the Solo Mini is better but does anyone know how much better ? I would also like some help on what speakers would be best with the above and how each would fair with my SENNHEISER 650's.

Any advice on any of the above would be very helpful

Get efficient speakers (those rated at 89db or higher) and the Solo-Mini will sing.

It is not a party box or a head slammer's dream system but at reasonable volume levels will sound better than a £200 Denon (or similar) micro system.

Don't assume you have to partner the Solo-Mini with budget speakers, you will be repaid for spending out more. (So long as the speakers are efficient.)

Try and get good, front-ported speakers that are happy close to walls.

As for your HD-650 headphones, get a decent - seperate - headphone amp, whichever system you opt for. It would be a crime not to.
