Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

The THX AAA amp has very low THD+N and I remember others recommending a similar spec DAC for it. If you have no preference and want a good value for money DAC then the Massdrop x Grace Standard DAC might be your best option (delivery time of May 2019). Or a Topping D30, or D50 even.

My motherboard has the ES9023 which isn't half bad.
@AndrewMason Thanks for sharing about the Topping NX4-DSD. That one seems to measure quite well at <0.0008% THD+N and cheaper.
