The things you do for hi-fi !

I wish we had Facebook Emojis, that pic is too funny (on the medical side, we frequently see pitures of “subjects” with their eyes shaded :wink: )

Congratulations! Just get rid of those plastic covers... fast! That thing is much more sexier with some signs of usage ...

Not everyone’s cup of tea musically, but if you you want to hear the pure tone of the Focal Clear, it’s highly recommend.

Just significantly simplified my home office setup thanks to the Focal Clear - and it sounds much better than before. Only problem is that I love the clear so much I just bought a Utopia for the main rig - that I should get today :)

So I recently joined the black and red side of team Clear, and I'm now looking to find something to drive them a bit better than a zxr soundcard. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good DAC/AMP combo which would work well with them? (Preferably in the same box)

What is your budget?

Around £500, I could probably get away with another few hundred on top (without hating myself too much) if it's really worth it.

- Thanks for helping btw
I saved a boat load by going with the iFi Black Label at suggestion of an extremely well respected forum member. $500 vs the $1200-$1700 I thought it was going to cost me.

Hmm, for that money probably Schiit Jotunheim as a 3 in 1, you'll save a lot of money and don't have to look back for a long time as it does sound really great for the money. Also if you don't mind 2 small cases Schiit Modi 2 MB + Magni 3 might be worth considering, crazy performance/price ratio. iFi Audio comes to mind too.
