I have a completely different suggestion. Given the limitations of your listening area, consider a Lyngdorf 2170 with room correction. Its onboard DAC is very good as well so you can replace several components with one. Room correction is a big deal.
Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else
Need help to decide ...
Which is a better choice for me:
Chord Qutest
Schiit Yggy
Ayre Codex
Some other DAC
to go with the following system I have:
Sonus Faber Venere 3
Parasound P5 and A23
Bluesound Node 2i
Music:
Mostly classical music especially symphonies
Jazz, rock, pop, vocal
Environment:
hardwood floor
I am not getting the clarity and the sound stage I want when I listen to symphonies like Beethoven Symphony 5 or Violin Concerto.
Is an external DAC the right solution? Or a better amp?
thanks.
