What about Aesthetix IO? Would you agree, that it is in the first camp with Allnic, Phasemation etc.?if you get with your Lampi DAC a balanced and well received sound, you will found with the following Phonostages a similar signature:
Allnic H-7000v
Phasemation EA-1200
if your budget will give you the freedom:
Allnic H-8000 DHT
Phasemation EA-2000
Air Tight ATE 3011 plus Kondo SFZ step up
EMT JPA 66
CHP, Boulder, JMF are in a complete different camp
Thanks in advance.
