Hello guys i just got elac debut 5.2
I'm wondering what amp should i use?

Now I'm using nobsound ns10g, mainly for watching youtube / spotify

Budget under $200
What i need is optical, usb, Bluetooth

There are some options:
1. DAC + amp combo:
topping pa3 + topping d10 / other DAC

2. Integrated amp:
SMSL AD18
FX audio 802c
I.AM.D V200BT

I'm from Indonesia, no many options here
Thanks

Those elac's don't play nice with low powered class D chip amps. If you have access to the Sony str dh190 or the Yamaha R-S202BL I would recommend those and ICEpower based amplifiers. Those are the best in your budget that I have auditioned with the F6.2. I have also tried this amplifier and it sounded surprisingly good.
