Hello,
I am a new CH convert (from Naim, Devialet and Vitus).
I am planning to purchase a full CH frontend comprising of C1 + T1(GPS) + X1 + M1.1.
Speakers are not yet decided but I am looking at Focal Scala Utopia, B&W 802D3, Magico A5 or a used Tidal Sunray G2.
When calculating, I found that C1 + T1 + X1 combined is a bit costlier than single C1 Mono (without T1 or X1), which as a dual mono DAC is exceptional.
1) I need your help to share your thoughts on which is the better DAC route $50-70k?
A- C1 + T1(GPS) + X1
B- C1 Mono (without T1 or X1)
C- Buy another DAC like MSB Reference or Nagra HD DAC X (will there be a synergy issue?)
2) Should I upgrade to the $5000 ethernet card or buy a separate streamer like Aurender ?
