Hi - I am looking for an amp with an on board DAC, to replace an Arcam Alpha 7 amp and rDAC and drive my Mission 773e speakers.
The Cambridge CXA60 is well reviewed, and comes with all the digital inputs I need (the rDAC now has too few), but I was wondering how much of an upgrade it would be over the Arcam kit.
The Cyrus 6 XPD, 6 DAC, 8 XPD, or 8 DAC seem to sell second hand for around £700 on the online auction site and, though they'd test the upper limits of my budget, I was wondering if one of these would be a better alternative, or overkill.
What do you think? Or are there other amp/DACs that I've missed and are worth a look?
Thanks,
James
