T-amp +Pure I20 combo for sensitive speakers?

[matt98svt]

Hi all,
I am new to T-amps but it was advised I should look at one vs a integrated amplier since I have a tiny budget of $300-$400 to work with. I want to use my Ipad/Iphone as my music source and it was recommended I look at a Pure I20 to use as a DAC and transport for my Ipad/Iphone. The speakers that will be used are super sensitive Klipsch RF-83s that are 100db/1w so they dont need alot of power but its important to keep out hiss and background noise. Some of the ones I have looked at are the

-dayton audio dta-100a from parts express
-topping tp60 tripath ta2022 also from parts express

what T-amp would you recommend I look at?

Also one quick bit, looking at the back of these amps it would seem since so many people are using them for digital music they would have a digital input but most seem to have a coaxial input. Wouldnt there be a loss of sound quality going from the Pure I20 to the amp using coaxial?

The Topping should be fine - you sgould achieve a good clean sound. So you would use the DAC onboard the Pure i20 so output via the 2 RCA's into the 2 RCA's on the amp. Job done, the amps will not have a digital input unless they have an onboard DAC.

Frankly ?? None.
Take your decent budget and Buy Used ! There are many "fine' amps out there, whose Only failing is that they are pre owned.
