Hello everyone again.
After 3 months I've come to the conclusion that the Cambridge 840c is not a great match for my Genelec 8020a speakers. The sound is a little too cold and analytical, plus I have to tone down the Genelecs with their -2db treble cut.
The 840c is still incredible with my Senn 580s, however I've found myself listening to them less and less as I've found the stereo-image portrayed by the Senns to be vastly inferior to the Genelecs, despite the Senns sounding sweeter and musical. The sound of instruments coming directly from my left or right side, as well as up and down is rather disconcerting, and the cross-feed on the Arietta doesn't help all that much.
So now I'm after a DAC with a warmer, more musical sound that will pair up well with my Genelec speakers. Must have XLR outputs and comparable levels of detail to the 840c. Budget- under 3k Aussie dollars.
Any help would be appreciated.
