Re: Magico M3 v Gryphon Trident II v YG Sonja 2.2
Listening to my Vivid G3 now. Absolutely love it still. The G1S at my dealer's place was noticeably better. But I do agree on the room size requirement. If you have the space, I would think its hard...

Isn't the Vivid G1 Spirit worth a look? The Singapore dealer is pretty good.

Hi Andrew, do you recall what was the speakers hooked up to the Diablo 120? Assuming you heard the 120 at the dealer's place and not a home trial with your Magico.

Re: Gryphon 300 - one month later
Had a listen to the Diablo 120 paired with the Wilson Benesch Square Five today as the Diablo 300 is fully sold out.

Could you get the Diablo 300 and loan the dac module before trying it out with the Lumin or the Aurender? Plenty of dac options out there and you might not want to be tied to the internal one. Though...

Re: Lumin D2 v Aurender N100
USB dacs would mostly be asynchronous. Meaning the clock is from the DAC. The higher end Aurenders like the N10 and W20 have a high end build in clock and using the AES outputs lets you use these...

Wow that's a drastic move. Assuming you get the Job Monos and MicroZotl, what would your replacement DAC be for the QX-5 Twenty?

Re: New integrated amplifier to drive Magico S3 mk2
Octave V80 SE sounded good. I have compared it to the Accuphase E-470 when my dealer carried them both and the Octave was better.

Hi there, looking at getting a used Vitus SIA 025. Any idea what is the difference between the MKI and MKII? Is it upgradable by the local dealer or Vitus themselves?

Re: Job 250 monos amps: absolutely wonderful ...
Any idea if the job monos are fully balanced? Ayre gear seems to sound best through fully balanced connections. Intending to get this for my QX-5 Twenty before deciding on a preamp.

Hi Joe, have you tried the MicroZotl and your job monos? Are they a good match? Looking at going that route to pair with my Ayre QX-5 Twenty.

Looking at getting a STP-SE stage 2 or a Parasound JC2 since they are about the same price here. Has anyone compared these 2? Will pair them with a Nord One UP amp.

Has a K-01XD SE actually been announced by Esoteric?
Esoteric DAC type, DSD or PCM?
