amp to pair with decco for under $1000


i am very interested in the decco but it does not have enough power for my maggies (mg12). since the decco has a preamp out i need suggestions on a amplifier with phono for under 1k used.

If you buy an amp "with phono", your only choice is an integrated amp. In that case you would be using the Decco as only a DAC, so you might just want to consider buying a good integrated amp w/phono and a seperate DAC/USB-DAC.

Ultimately it appears you want a DAC/USB-DAC, pre-amp, phono stage and power amplifier. You can choose whatever combination you want. All seperates, integrated amp +USB DAC, Decco + power amp and phono stage, etc.

Personally, given the need you have described, I would get a good integrated amp w/phono stage built-in and add a seperate USB DAC.

Enjoy,
