I am upgrading my system for the fist time in many many years. I am looking at integrated amps with DAC built in as my two main sources are a Linn LP12 (MM cartridge) and uncompressed Wav files from a minimac with optical output.
The Naim and the Bryston are both good brands and their integrated amps (with Dac) have good reviews. Has anyone compared these from a vinyl/digital perspective? Are their any alternatives I should consider?
