Hi,
I am about to buy my first music setup in years. The setup will be used for background music in my living room 90% of time.
I have decided to buy a pair of Genelec G3, because:
I like how they sound.
I like the looks.
Integrated amps simplifies the look of the music setup.
I want them in the color black.
I have also decided on a Wiim product as source.
Option 1:
Dac+Source:
Wiim Pro
I live in Japan and the release on Amazon.jp is TBD.
However I can buy it through Amazon.com if need be.
Option 2:
Buy a Wiim Mini and a Dac.
Dac’s I am considering:
Topping DX3 Pro+ (volume knob, nice!)
Topping E30 II
SMSL C200 (volume knob, nice!)
SMSL C100
Source:
Wiim Mini
Wiim Pro vs Wiim Mini
When I look at their webpage it seems that both products support or will support 10 band EQ. Can anyone confirm that ?
If for some reason (maybe slower CPU) the Mini does not support 10 band EQ, then I will choose the Wiim Pro (Option 1).
Another reason for Wiim Pro, is the Ethernet port. Maybe it will give more stable streaming?
Do you have any other recommendations for cheap dacs or just some suggestions about the hole setup?
