Today there are a ton of fantastic products and systems that are very affordable and excellent sounding.
We recently discovered one of the best and most featured electronics pairings ever:
NAD C 658 integrated preamp/dac/streamer $1,500.00
Nuprime STA 9 amplifier 120 watts stereo 290 watt mono $ 700.00 each
The NAD C658 has Blue OS built in so it is an excellent streamer and a great app comes with it, the C 658 also has Dirac room correcton built in, which can really help make a bad room sound way better.
The Nuprime STA 9 is a hybrid Class A/D amplifier with a deliberatly tubey sound, Nuprime used FET’s in the front end and the little amp is both punchy with great dynamics and bass but also has a rich engaging sound.
Also with true separates the consumer can upgrade by adding a second Nuprime amp and bridging to mono which sounds even better for an additional $700.00
Upgrade to an even better preamp and use the C 658 as a Dac/streamer
Upgrade to an even better Dac and use the C 658 as just a streamer.
Upgrade by moving to an even more exotic and expensive amplifier
so with this modular approach a person can continue to build as their budget and knowledge increase.
For loudspeakrs the New Dali Oberons are wonderful at $1,500.00 a pair
Other speakers we would recommend the Quad S4 at $1,800.00 pair with an amazing ribbon tweeter.
So other than cabling you can get a system for
$2,200.00 electronics
$1,500.00 speakers
$3,700.00
