I am looking for some advice on a nearfield desktop setup.
Actually, I don't know what qualifies as nearfield or not.
This is going to be for my desk.
My desk headphone setup is like this: iMac connected via usb to two Dac's each feeding two headphone amps.
My desktop speakers for the moment are B&W MM1, active computer speakers with built in Dac connected via USB.
I want to replace those with a more serious setup, a nearfield setup let's say. I am 3ft away from the speakers and they are 2.5ft apart.
I have a pair of B&W CM1's lying around and was thinking of getting a W4S Mint (inetgrated amp with USB dac), connect that to the iMac via USB and drive the CM1's with it.
What do you guys think of that setup? Any advice/tips?
