I currently listen to my music sourced from my computer (iTunes and Internet Radio) using its coaxial output into a Cambridge Azur AV receiver and Monitor RX6 speakers. The amp was only ever intended to drive my small Mordaunt Short surround speakers and so I am left wondering if I need a better amp.
My problem is, everything I listen to is digital, therefore I would need a stereo amps and a DAC or I get a new AV amp (with built in DAC etc) or I stay with Cambridge (its a good amp but I'm sure there's more to get out of my Monitor Speakers).
If I spend £500 on a new amp + £300 on a DAC, am I going to get a better sound than spending £800 for an AV amp?
Also, just to throw more confusion into the mix, is it worth getting one of these new media streaming amps (not that I want to go as high as the Naim unitiqute etc).
Confused!
