Be careful pairing LS50 with Class D. Things can get very lean, bright, and analytical quickly.
NAD D3045 vs NAD C268 for KEF LS50 - which amp for greatest synergy with KEF LS50?
The D3045 is $699.99 and the C268 could be gotten for about $630.
C3045 has HDMI port and built-in DAC. C268 has balanced XLR input but needs external DAC.
I do have an external Xiang Sheng DAC-05A (dual burr brown chips, balanced XLR).
D3045 is more compact, and likely lighter. I believe it also has a remote.
Damping factor for both appear to be > 300.
I'm trying to determine which would have better synergy with KEF LS50 speakers and can bring the best out of them.
Thanks in advance!
