Advice on AR The Complete with MSB Link


I'm putting together a system on a fairly slim budget. I found an AR The Complete for a good price and am about to pick up an MSB Link DAC III for cheap to match with one of those modded Aiwa CD changers rumoured about in various quarters. My concern is this combo of amp and DAC.

Is there a risk of excessive warmth and lack of detail, does it just depend on speaker choice (I'm leaning towards Meadowlark Kestrels), or am I worrying for nothing so I should grab the MSB Link?

Thx for any help.

Zilch2, not sure what your budget is, but if you can stretch your budget to around $400 (used), the Aragon D2A MKII with the IPS external power supply sure did the trick in my office system (AR Complete, Dyanco CDP, Totem Rokk). Jeff
