Hi there,
Current system is Auralic Aries / Vega, Gato Audio Amp 150AE and Focal 1028Be.
Very happy with my system but now have the itch and budget that is causing me to think about a potential upgrade in the next month or two, if for nothing other than I can.
I’m erring towards a Dac upgrade and thinking that may allow for a move to the Gato monoblocs later this year or next (Amp 150 is very impressive which has made me curious about how good the monoblocs are).
Current thinking is Auralic Vega G2/G2.1, PS Audio Directstream, or Mytek Manhattan II. Looking for something that has a decent pre section if I do go down the monobloc route in future. Any thoughts / experience with any of these three or any similar alternatives you might recommend?
Cheers
