Default Schiit DAC for vintage system
This Schiit’s all new to me so I’m hoping the Schiit experts can provide some advice. I’m restoring a 1970s vintage Yamaha CA-1010 integrated amp for use in my home workshop. Right now I just have a pair of small Martin-Logan Motion speakers, and don’t know where I’ll go next for speakers. Could be something like the Falcon LS3/5A or Blumenstein Orca. For source I have a couple of streaming options: I have a Linn Sneaky DS, which has a pretty decent DAC, and I have an old Squeezebox Touch (24/192 capable) to which I could add a DAC like a Gungnir or Bifrost. Any opinions? If I go with a Schiit DAC, would a Bifrost be a good fit given the Yamaha isn’t going to be the most transparent system? Or should I go for the Gungnir?
