I'm looking for an all-in-one solution just to manage my workspace a little better. Right now, I have more boxes on my desk than I really want: a Musical Fidelity triple stack (V-DAC, V-PSU, V-LPS) for speaker use and connecting to a Rega turntable, a Emotiva mini-X a-100 for passive speakers, and some speakers. I'd really like to condense that stack and speaker amp into one box if I could (or two if I need a separate phono pre-amp), so I'd like a DAC and speaker amp together and a phono pre-amp if possible. I actually don't use headphones at my desk (mainly use IEMs), but having a headphone amp would be nice in this package too, as would an iPod dock.
My budget is around $500-700, less if possible. It seems that the Bel Canto C5i is pretty much the perfect device for me, but it's pretty far out of budget. Other than that, it seems that the Peachtree gear would be the best solution for me (either the Nova or Decco) along with a phono pre-amp of some kind. I know that this is probably not a common issue, but does anyone have any suggestions or can even confirm that the Peachtree gear would be a good fit?
Thanks!
