I am currently running modded Zxr feeding the signal to NAD D3020 amplifier via optical. Have 2 Orb satellite speakers and Velodyne Impact Mini sub woofer. I was briefly using my Pioneer A/V receiver instead of NAD D3020 to make the connection and I was so pleased with the crisp sound and impactful bass. But now with NAD the sound seems to be so small and the clarity was definitely lost. Cheap treble and muddy bass now. Sounds so boxed in.
I've looked for another amplifier with the higher power rating (NAD's at 30wpc) and found Denon HEOs (100wpc) but not sure if the bigger wpc alone will solve my problem. I checked few vendors but they don't seem to have the amp with all the connection I require. I need speakers out, optical in, subwoofer preout but it isn't easy to find the good amp with these 3 connectors.
Any recommendation for high quality amp which will give me a boost? Again, I need these connectors.
