Hi folks!
right now i'm building myself a second pc for daily use and at the same time i want to upgrade my pc audio setup.
right now i'm using creative i-trigue l3500 speakers but still the new setup doesn't need to be TOTL since i have 2 decent stereo setups already.
at the moment i'm leaning towards a entry level pair of heco bookshelf loudspeakers (victa 200) maybe with the matching sub. speakers are about 120, sub too.
what i'm searching now is a small amp (desk space is at premium) and maybe a dac with at least 2 inputs for both pc's.
the so well regarded sonic t-amp cost about 75 here in austria which I thinks is a lot for it's performance.
after a bit of research i found a site with apparently hong kong made, nice looking, yet affordable amps.
these are the two amps in question.
pop pulse t40 ( i need a dac with 2 inputs to use this (maybe the beresford))
http://www.audio-magus.com/product_p/ppt40i.htm
or this with a built in dac (1 pc via usb and one analog)
http://www.audio-magus.com/product_p/krt20u.htm
has anyone expirence with one of these amps?
or does anyone have a better suggestion.
requirements:
small footprint is important
2 sources
under 200
thanks in advance!
