Hi Friends,
I have recently bought Mission QX2 speakers from Hifimart and also the AIYIMA A07 power amplifier which has been rated by many as a VFM amplifier.
Am on the lookout for pre-amp + DAC combo to complete the chain.
I already have a signature acoustics Phoenix Bluetooth receiver that I intend to use to stream music via Bluetooth (I believe this also has an optical / coaxial out) via mobile (VLC Player) and an old pioneer DVD player to play my CD’s via optical / coaxial outs on the DVD player.
My budget is around 20-25K including cost of interconnects.
Couple of options that I was looking at were :-
1) Topping E30-II with volume control and remote but doesn’t seem to have bass + treble controls (Maybe need to manage EQ via VLC app).
2) Topping DX3 Pro+ - Seems to be a DAC + Headphone amplifier. Can it be used as a DAC+ pre-amp ?
2) Per my discussion with Anil (Hifimart) he had suggested to go with AIYIMA D03 Integrated Amp + DAC (Can this work with AIYIMA A07 as a pre-power amp combo, I am not sure)
For interconnects I already have Blue Rigger Coax and Optical cables.
For speaker cables Anil had suggested to go for DAC 16 AWG & for RCA connects folks in the forum suggested to go for Mr Murthy’s cables.
Are these interconnects fine for my usage or should I be looking at something else?
Can I request forum members to provide their valuable inputs and guidance regarding my queries ?
Regards
Sam
