I've had this starter system set up for about a month now:
WiiM Pro Plus streamer for Amazon Music -> Schiit Saga S PreAmp -> Fosi Audio V3 PowerAmp -> Emotiva B2+ speakers and RSL 12S Subwoofer.
I'm open to any suggestions for enhancements that might stand out to you, based on your experience or any notable poor ratings on ASR.
PS:
After delving into discussions on this forum, I've gathered that SMSL seems to be the go-to brand for DACs, while Topping appears to be the preferred choice for PreAmps, PowerAmps, and IntegratedAmps. However, their extensive product lines are quite bewildering to me. There's a vibe that these brands are more of a use-and-discard type with a rather tedious warranty service process.
On the other hand, Emotiva seems to have a solid reputation for US customer service, although it doesn't fare well on ASR measurements. Schiit, on the other hand, seems to be a reliable choice for US-manufactured products that measure well, coupled with decent (if not stellar?) US customer service. Would you concur with these assessments?
Thank you!
