Hi guys,
As the title indicates, I am wondering what is the best deal for me. I can buy the RME ADI-2 DAC FS + Neurochrome modulus 286 for about $4200 (CA) or I can buy the Rotel RA-1592MKII for about $3K. I have no idea how the RME DAC + Neurochrome amplifier will sound but I have listened to the RA-1592MKII which I like.
I love the idea of having two separated devices that can be upgraded and/or replaced if my needs or the technology change but the price is a lot and it would be my endgame HiFi system. There are no measurements by Amir for the RA-1592MKII but I think I could buy it to save some money and spend the extra bucks to treat my audiophile nightmare rectangular room with drywalls, windows and a big alcove - where do I even start... :-( but that's a topic for another thread.
My speakers are the Sonus Faber Lumina 5 (50-300W 4 ohm).
What do you guys think?
