Antipodes Oladra vs K50 vs Pink Faun Scion?

Yes. I like it so much it is going to be my new digital front end.

I would like if PF offer Qobuz Connect support for their servers.

Additionally, based on my recent experience, using a great server is no less dramatic than upgrading your DAC - it can transform your current digital setup into a remarkably more refined and engaging listening experience with improved detail retrieval, soundstage width, and overall musical coherence.

My experience with Antipodes and hearing the impact of a friend’s Taiko Extreme turned me into a “source first” believer.

Thank you all for your replies.

My asking about the Scion to Oladra was more about price point. (Scion once upgraded $25k to Oladra's $29k).

I think I am going to see if I can find a used Ultra 2.16, as that seems to be the best bang for the buck. I remembered I had a Lumin X1 in a system that I was not using, and tried swapping my NDX2 and ND555, but I did like the presentation of the Naim better. Just seemed more natural. I would assume the same would be from the ND555 to the Ultra 2.16, as it just gets a bit better.

I wish there was a big audio showroom locally that the people weren't such jerks.
