Re: Done with digital
How about trying the denafrips DACs? They are all on the more organic side. People love them.

Re: Reintroduction
Thank you. More similar than different. Both high efficiency designs for speakers. The Cornwalls have more transparency but I think the sugden / Cornwall synergy is responsible. Great match!

Reintroduction
Hello all, re-introducing myself since I’ve been pretty inactive for a few years now. Didn’t quit the hobby just sort of slowed down. I’m a minimalist at heart so my systems now are all streaming...

Re: Best Integrated Amp, New Or Used (up to ten years old) $1,500.00 Or Less - With A Warm Sound?
Exposure 3010. Sugden a21. Nad m2. Musical Fidelity m5si. All, of these can be found for around $1500 used and they all fit your needs based on my experience owning them.

Re: Dynaudio Contour 60
Given your description I’d say they were broken. Your experience contradicts many professional reviews not to mention a substantial number of contour owners.

Without a doubt devialet. Dac, pre, amp all in one. Simplifies everything, eliminates many cables, sounds world class, is gorgeous, and costs less than anything it competes with.
