Love taking pics of the gear

nice gear with triode- mosfet output stage sounded superb 30 years ago in the stax dac. Nothing will have changed with the Aqua dac. congratulations

I had the Aqua at home for evaluation but I'm not 100% convinced... yet. Missed a bit in terms of soundstage.Will do some more searching.

Maybe I should also clarify that not everything I show pictures of has been in my possessions. Some are evaluation objects but also pictures from listening sessions with friends with the same interest in hi-fi.

If you have used the balanced outputs then the output transformers come into play. I thought what came out of it was very good i can live with that

P.S
I have listened to three DACs at the time, the Rockna, Aqua and Metronome, the latter simply sounds like more music not like hifi.

Speaking of dac's.
This one has a really nice soundstage...

Soulenote D-2







No tubes but really glowing in the dark...



Perhaps even to much glowing

That’s reminding me of my Olympus pre when it has tiny red bulbs inside the main chassis and projecting nicely on the ceiling when all the lights turned off

Turned the SET 845 back on. Nice mids. Highs a little recessed. Some hum. Don't hear the hum playing Miles D in high rez
