Hi all,
I should start by thanking you all for a very informative community. All very interesting, and refreshingly devoid of sommelier-type words when describing equipment!
I am in the process of building a pair of these: https://sites.google.com/site/undefinition/diy/amiga from a PartsExpress kit. These are 8Ohm, 83/84dB according to Carmody himself.
I plan on using a Raspberry PI as a streamer so no need for that feature to be necessarily integrated. I would rather a decent integrated, possibly with sub- and/or pre- outs. Can you guys make any suggestions in the $400-500 or less price range? I'm ok with factory refurbs but would prefer to avoid used market.
Another option is RaspberryPI+DAC hat, into a volume box such as a Schiit Sys, into a power amp. I think. But I don't know how I would ensure these would work together without blowing a speaker or a component...
I have been looking at, in no particular order, Cambridge Audio AXR100 refurb, Allo Volt+D, Emotiva TA-100, IOTAVX SA3 refurb, Yamaha A-S501 refurb...
If there is amore appropriate section for this post, please let me knowing I can repost there. Or feel free to move this post over.
Thank you for your advice.
