I am building my bedroom HiFi system currently, at the moment it consists of Sonos ZP120 and Leema Xero Speakers.
I would like to spend no more than £3000, and end up with as good a system as possible. I will be using a ZP90, then a DAC, Amp and speakers. It needs to sound good both for Lossless files from my NAS and Napster/Internet Radio streaming.
How would you spend the money?
My current best system for this money would be a Cyrus 8XPD Qx and some ex demo Spendor SA1s. I demoed this setup and it was lovely, also ideal for a bedroom as one small box for DAC and amp (not essential but definitely a plus point with the other half!). The ZP120 and Leema Xeros will then move to the kitchen so giving me another zone.
Alternatively I have been wondering about Naim Uniti (seems a shame to waste the CD player and streaming though, as I would still want to use the Sonos as the source), or Supernait based systems. Anyone know how Leema Zeros sound with the Supernait?
As a slight curveball however, there are several Chord DAC64s on ebay for just over £1000, how much better a DAC is that than the Naim/Cyrus ones mentioned, and what amp would go well between that and the Leema's? (there is the Leema Pulse as an obvious choice, but what else would work?).
Anywho, please let me know how you would spend the money, and what you think the best system you could get would consist of.
Thanks guys.
