I have been leaning towards the Parasound P6 paired with my modest Adcom 535ii then upgrading to a more legitimate power in the future.
I did look into the Musical Fidelity M3i as well. I like the idea of a completely analog unit. No DAC, dedicated preamp section and toroidal power transformer. I think this has the potential to stick around in my system for many more years than the P6. This is the reason I went with the PM8005 in the first place with all of the “Built like a tank” reviews I read.
Soundwise I am not sure what differences I will see.
