Hi,
my current setup is SMSL DO100 > RCA cables > Arcam FMJ A38 > Cabasse Egea 3.
I recently upgraded from HiFiBerry DAC2 HD to SMSL DO100, which also has balanced output (arcam doesn't have balanced inputs).
I'm listening only to my own collection own hi-res music through SMSL dac.
Would I hear any benefit upgrading my Arcam integrated ampilfier to a class D power amplifier with balanced inputs (using SMSL also as preamplifier).
I was looking at NAD C 268 or maybe something from Audiophonics (around 1000 EUR).
