Hello everyone, it's my first thread here 
I'm looking for an used DAC for my current setup, which is mostly Naim equipment. I was considering two options in my budget - Ayon Kronos and Lampizator Big 7 with engine ELEVEN.
Both are tubed with rather good reviews. Kronos is newer (mid 2022) and has good (from what I know) preamp built-in. Big 7 is much older but it was upgraded to engine eleven, no preamp by default - I see one on a local auction, the price is similar to Kronos, but noone is interested in it. I'm afraid that in the future it will be a bigger problem to sell it.. I can borrow Ayon, but I can't borrow that Lampi to compare...
What is your suggestion? Or maybe something else?
