Hi all,
After a long absence from Hi-Fi I've been putting together a good system but I need a source for my digital music collection and also something to stream it with. With my last system I was using a Chord 2Qute DAC and a Mac mini via USB however that required access to a remote desktop session via a TV/Laptop to access my collection. Not very practical!
I was going to go down the Chord Route again but I believe in order to integrate the streaming capabilities I'd need the DAC and another box (chord or non chord). I've read some good things about Auralic, specifically the ALTAIR G1 (£2000). This would give me a single box solution at a reasonable price. However I'm just wondering whether or not it will be a match for the rest of my system which is:
PMC Fact.12 speakers
Teddy Pardo PR1 Pre amp
Teddy Pardo 2x 100W Mono Blocks
I'm familiar with PMC having owned the Twenty.23 in the past and have used TP Power supplies on previous Naim kit. I was so impressed by the Teddy Power supplies I thought I'd give their amps a whirl. Obviously the speakers are massively more expensive retail but I got them at a very good used price on the bay.
I could look further up the Auralic range but the next model up is the Vega G1 and that is 6k! A bit to much to swallow as my system is getting very expensive as is.
Any advice on the above or recommendations would be gratefully received!
Cheers!
