Magnepan 1.6qr's + Pathos Classic One?

[Mike Anderson]

PS: Use the balanced inputs on it and ditch the sub.

Yes, if I go with that amp I'm going to pick up the Benchmark DAC1, which has balanced analog outs. My whole setup then would be:

Computer -> Squeezebox 2 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Classic One -> 1.6qr

Very simple and elegant. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine why I would ever "need" a better setup than that.
