Long story trying to make this short! I picked up some older bryston gear for a deliciously reduced price and along with it came a rotel rt 1080 tuner, bryston spv-1 video switcher, bryston sp1.7 pre amp and an audio research preamp ls9.
trying to streamline this down for my use (mostly digital content movies high quality mp3's and flac files) any opinions if the bryston 1.7 is better than the audio research?
I haven't set the rig up as of yet but am leaning towards keeping the bryston 1.7 just to go with the amps but figured I'd ask!
Also, I recognize the 1.7 doesn't have hdmi and a lot of my stuff is digital was considering a new oppo product to put in the mix for DAC
https://www.oppodigital.com/sonica-dac/ or is the 1.7 digital optical good to go???
Appreciate any help, oh also these are the amps, I am thinking of selling the 14b and the silver 4b and just running with the others....

bryston 4b st (silver) thinking of selling
