hi all-
i'm in the midst of self-education and starter purchases after years of coming close to taking the hifi plunge. i currently have kef R3s in route and nothing else (crappy sound bar notwithstanding).
i live in a medium size apartment with a 12x20' room for listening at about ~6-9'distance. i plan to start out with streaming (likely switching over from spotify to tidal) but also have designs on adding a turntable and also using for movies.
remaining budget is ~1500-2000USD and would like to cover setup for streaming, amp and a starter TT with that
from a bit of reading, would the following make sense?
power amp- buckeye NC 252MP (~550)
minidsp-ddrc-24 (~450) + wiim
(or maybe minidsp SHD to cover streaming as well?)
TT ~500-1000 left over depending on above options.
any assistance is much appreciated.
PS- this is less important now but would love any insight into the best way to add headphone capability to the above
