Hi all!
My Natalie P's are probably 12-13 years old at this point and while I have auditioned other speakers in the $3-5k range, I am in no hurry to "upgrade" although curiosity may get me to do some in-home demos at some point... Very happy with these speakers for HT and 2-Channel listening and they've only improved with my other incremental component upgrades over the years.
I currently own a Marantz Av7704 with Rogue Audio ST-100. The sound is excellent, streaming Tidal via HEOS but I'm looking to take things to the next level with 2-Channel Music playback.
What do you guys run with your Natalie P's?
Below are some options I've considered, across various price ranges...
My current top Preamp/Dac contendors are:
1. Parasound P6 + Node 2i or Creative CXN v2
2. PS Audio Stellar Gain + same options above
3. MiniDSP SHD
Also considering saving up more and going with separates:
Preamps:
1. Rogue Audio RP-7 (Used)
2. Rogue Audio RP-5 (Used)
3. Schiit Freya+
4. Anthen STR Preamp - (I am also interested in other Solid State options)
5. Primaluna Dialogue Premium
DACs:
1. Schiit yyaggy
2. Primaluna Evo 100 DAC
3. Audio Mirror Tubadour III
Node 2i or Creative CXN v2 coaxial out to the above DAC.
If this is the wrong place to ask this question I will gladly delete this post or have it moved
Thanks!
