    Ithaka - DAC by Aries Cerat

    the truth that i don't know, i didn't care so much :) (i think it was the two) i'm going to have the Ithaka eventually either way. the Homerus price tag is to steep for me. maybe some day in the far future.. who knows.

    Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia Owners thread

    Best phono stage?

    i have yet compare the P1 with the Talos, but soon it will be operable to do. i have TALOS SIG' on order with two SUT units inside. but if someone will ask me which Phono is the best i have heard it will be The "four chassis Aries Cerat flagship Zephyrus phono preamplifier". i couldn't...
