I’d recommend upgrading your source first. An iPhone isn’t a great source and the DAC of the Halo Integrated is definitely the weakest section of the unit.
Integrated amplifier search
I’m currently using a Parasound Halo Integrated. The rest of my system consists of Clearwave Definition Be loudspeakers, VPI Traveler turntable, and Parasound T3 tuner. Most of my critical listening is done from my iPhone into the DAC of the Parasound.
i very much enjoy the Integrated, but I’m curious if there is something in a smaller package that offers the same functionality and quality as the Parasound. For a while, I looked carefully at the Peachtree Nova 150. It’s intriguing, but I’m concerned I won’t maintain the level of sound quality I have now.
Any thoughts on other Integrateds I should consider?
