Just before I take the plunge, I was wondering if anyone could share a few thoughts on what I have in mind.
Over the next year or so I want to spend about £1,500 on: a DAC, an amp and a pair of bookshelf speakers. The listening room is smallish, 4 x 3 metres, with speakers placed along the 4m length and close to it. The sources will be: a Rega Planar 3, CA 650BD (transport) and Apple TV - until I can afford a dedicated streamer. I listen to anything from Adele to Rammstein, but mainly rock.
My initial choice for an audition is, Rega’s: DAC, Brio R and RS1. I think this system would tick many boxes for me, but I will definitely take my 650BD and some discs along and listen to the setup.
I’m pretty new to this, but if someone can offer me alternative ideas or comments on similar setups, then this would be a great help, and really appreciated.
Many thanks.
