ASRniks, it’s time to take our hard-won knowledge (thanks to @amirm’s hard work!) and propose the best system under various constraints.
Other threads could seek the most cost-effective reference system with transparency, for example, or lower power levels.
This thread is for the following:
- maximum measured performance
- minimum of 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, two channels minimum
- DAC
- Headphone amp
- Power amp
- Preamp to handle at least 3 analogue inputs
- Any combination of pieces to achieve the functionality above
- cables, interconnects, speakers, headphones not included
- No DIY or without proper customer service
If you were building a system as described above starting with a blank sheet of paper, what would you recommend and what would it cost?
Edited to clarify assignment.
