Hey guys, I'm currently running a Rotel RA-1520 integrated with the digital duties handled by a Chord MoJo and the vinyl routed through a Parasound ZPhono USB. Speakers are JMLab/Focal Electra 926. The Rotel puts out 60wpc and the room is 12x12. I have noticed the NAD C388 and am wondering if it'll be enough of an upgrade to justify the purchase. I'm specifically coming up short on specs and reviews of the onboard DAC (I'd add BluOS later most likely), and phono stage. I have a feeling the DAC won't be as good as the MoJo, and I've read that the amp will digitize incoming analog signals so that is cause for concern. I feel like the amp section would be an upgrade from the Rotel. Does anyone on here have the C388 that can provide any info about your impressions? Do you think it's a suitable replacement for the 1520/MoJo/Parasound all in one box? I'm liking the sound right now but think the Electras could use more juice. Any advice would be appreciated!
