Renn man,A few questions, do you play vinyl? Also a price point would help. The wyred4sound stuff (especially the DAC2 part preamp/DAC $1499 new) has a lot of permutations depending what you want. Since you have a SS amp consider a tube pre to get the best of both worlds. The Rogue Audio Metis for $1095 new is a hell of a buy. Belcanto also has a few pieces that act like a pre/dac with ins/outs.I am glad you liked the Tritons, I thought you would (the sound for you and the narrow size for the wife). John
Do you need a remote for your pre? If not, maybe a Mapleshade preamp? Or an Audible Illusions?IIRC, the Emotiva amps are more highly regarded than their preamps. You might also want to think about a Peachtree Decco or Nova (or iDecco/iNova if you are an iPod person) units used without the amp section. Solid Sabre chip DAC, the tube option. Great styling.
RenMan, I would suggest taking a look at AudioClassics.com. Their used McIntosh equipment: amps, preamps,tuners,& receivers that are rated B1 are pristine & have been gone thru by their techs. [ thats where I purchased my amp & tuner/preamp]. Good luck to you, its a great hobby. my gal just told me to tell you that the hobby never ends $$$$.
