I would consider the small footprint and very fine quality of the Benchmark Dac1 and Benchmark AHB2 power amp. No Irish dealers that I know of though.

Hey John,

I wasn't aware they made one of those, but I'd be dubious on the absence of DAC specs?
I had thought of the topping TP32 as an option in the short term as it includes a remote....

NAIM UnitiQute 24/192 just landed.....!!!

very impressed thus far! (except for the baffling choice of rs232 update port!! - means i can't use the app yet, cause really who owns a usb to rs232 cable!!)

Built like a brick sh1th@use....

Really hadn't thought of one 'till I talked to Cloney....
