Been around a while....
Some of you will be aware of my initial enquiries looking at a streamer/pre amp to potentially partner up with the D&D 8c.
This has led me to putting Qobuz on my Sonos, and woken me up to streaming possibilities.
In turn, a contributor on the other thread suggested the Linn Akurate, which certainly does appear to have all the inputs I need, if I accept analogue xlr outs to the 8c.
Other analogue pre amps, like exposure 5010 etc also fit the bill.
Sort of a strange question, but if you went from a 252/Naim amp to what ever, what differences did you notice? (Especially if you ended up spending less that the cost of a 252/scap2)
I'm interested in discussing within the context that the pre would have a streamer built in, or I'd get a separate streamer/dac.
