Hello,

I am currently using a Dragonfly connected to an old NAD 304 which powers a pair Polk Monitor 4s. I bought the NAD pretty cheap off eBay and it has run fine for about a year, but lately I have been getting a fuzzy sound in the left channel. Sometimes this is fixed by turning the NAD off and on again, but lately the issue has become more persistent.

Long story short I am looking to replace the NAD.

If possible I would like to avoid spending more than $200, and am open to used deals. I narrowed it down to these 3 models...

Emotiva Mini-X a-100: Price is friendly to my budget (going for $150 these days), but wondering if this is a pay for what you get for type of item. I love the auto on switch. That's perfect for a computer audio setup.

Audioengine N22: Heard nothing but great things about this little amp. Love it's minimalist design.

Pro-ject Stereo Box S: Haven't heard much about these, but it's small footprint is appealing.

Wondering if anyone has other suggestions. Any class-t amps worth looking at? Would love to regain a little surface space on my workspace with a smaller amp.

Thanks and cheers!
Matthew
