I recently got the Rega DAC, which really is a top notch product.
As I already have Preamp/Amp setup - I wasn't looking for one, but if I was just getting in - the new Brio would definitely get my attention!
It seems to be very versatile, and I have heard it driving floor standers and bookshelf's as well. From what I heard it is at home with bookshelf style speakers, but man does it sound good! I figure really efficient floor standers would do well by it, too.
Anyway - just my 2 cents! Big fan of those (small!) components!
