DAC and AMP for Motive 2

[admin_exported]

I just got a pair of Neat Motive 2's. I've seen them paired with Naim but I find that option a bit to expensive, particually over here. I also got a quote on Exposure 2010s 30% above the uk retail price. Do you have any other suggestions?

As for a DAC I'm considering Beresford TC-7520, DacMagic seems to be out of stock for a good while unfortunately.

If you happen to know any online retailer that will ship to Sweden that would be great to.

Sonneteer Campion, it works a treat with the Neat Motives, the Campion sounds a lot more expensive than it is, a nice warm rich sound, a superb amplifier.

Aren't Primare cheaper over there? A DacMgic (if you can wait) into an i30's balanced inputs would be a pretty good combo, though can't comment on how well it would marry with the Neat's tweeter.......

Thanks for your advice
I might be able to get a used Sonneteer Campion for about £400 (equivalent), seems like a nice option.
Primare looks nice, entry level (i21) is more than Naim 5i though.

Agree with the Sonneteer and Nait.

DAC wise why not support your economy? The Harmony DA9 is a leap forwards from the Beresford and DM and is built in your own country. That's what I'd go for, we pay around £475 here, I should imagine you'll get it far cheaper than that.
