Remember that a £200 dac is the bottleneck when you start using better components. (and I believe your amp deserves a better dac)
Ok didn't go for the warmest sounding in the end but I picked up a Benchmark DAC1 (second hand) for a hundred squid cheaper than I could find the Rega or Audio GD.
Being well run in already the difference was noticeable straight from the off, the clarity is excellent. Bass response has got deeper, not that it has any more bass in comparison with the Camian it just sounds more even across the board. Also has balanced xlr outputs which may come in handy if I decided to go down the active speaker route later on.
Thankfully to me it doesn't sound bright which was my main concern, just sounds clear and neutral. :dance:
