Hello All,
I have just joined this forum - I have a Cyrus Stream X (brand new) and a set of Quads 306 (pre-amp and amp) - I just found the Quad's (1987 Vintage) - and have tested them and they work perfectly with a CD - the salesperson forgot to tell me that the Stream X needed a DAC (the XP at double the price has a DAC and Amp built in).
I listened to the KEF R500 / Q Series yesterday - am awaiting the R700 to be delivered to the showroom
I am now faced with a couple of choices
(1) Scrap the Quads entirely (difficult to do because emotionally attached) - and buy a Digital Amp - what would people suggest
(2) Buy a DAC - I have no exposure to these - what is available in India and given the set up, FLAC/ AAL to Cyrus to DAC to QUAD to KEF speakers , ehich DAC is appropriate;
(3) Replace Cyrus Stream X with (say) a Stream XP - at a cost of INR 45K more - inbuilt DAC and Amp
(4) Alternate speakers ?
With regards to all
