Integrated and DAC vs Integrated with built in DAC


I am having to decide between something like the Marantz PM8004 and Musical Fidelity M1DAC or the new Peachtree NOVA 125 to go with my recently purchased Dynaudio's Excite X12's. Any ideas or comments form the experienced? This is my first post BTW.

Tough call. I think the Peachtree would sound great. I also like the M1DAC and I suspect it will create a more detailed sound. I'm not a fan of the Marantz amps. I think you can do better for similar money. How about a Musical Fidelity M3 with the M1Dac? That would be a great combo with your X12s.
