@cooperdude6 gato dia-400 NSM is on the way from Denmark.
Is there a better all-in-one streamer/DAC/Integrated Amp under USD 5K?
For driving a pair of small, 4 ohm 86 dB speakers (DALI Menuet SE) for a small to medium size room at low to moderate SPLs, is there a Roon Ready, all-in-one streamer/DAC/Integrated Amp under USD 5K that is likely to perform sonically better than the Gato DIA 250S NPM?

Post is a month old, but was reading and thought I'd chime in. I have a Naim Uniti Star running Goldenear Reference speakers. These are large floor standers but the Naim handles them quite well. It would be a great all-in-one for smaller speakers. Naim AB amps have a clean response yet handle deep bass quite well. I appreciate multiple component systems but went the other direction and am quite pleased with the results. |
Thanks, @bipestuff . I am hoping this thread will be a sort of compendium of useful suggestions for folks in the future who may also be looking for good all-in-one digital packages. (My Gato DIA 400S NPM has just been playing for less than a week, but it really sounds amazing. Many reports are that it needs significant break in time; if that proves to be true and it improves from here, it will truly be a star.) Kind of cool that there are so many good all-in-one available these days. |
