no , is that what you want to hear?
When it comes you will have to listen and decide for yourself
No, I had hope about something more informative.

Yes, it is what I did it with the Vivaldi. With regret , I still prefer the physical media.
BTW, I hope to be able to listen to the Wadax Reference DAC soon.

there is no information at this time since the product is not an existing one. We shall see if it becomes one in 2022??? The Atlantis X is really good and it will be really something if they can substantially top it.No, I had hope about something more informative.

First amp arrived while I was at the show. As soon as I get my room back together and have a few days I will post some comments and pictures of the Eclipse.
Hi Micro - in other words, you prefer your Vivaldi Transport to the Taiko Extreme when either is playing thru the Vivaldi DAC?
When you hear the Wadax Ref, if you are listening in your own system...or if you are listening in another system where you can compare with Vivaldi...I would be very interested to know what you think. When you say 'soon'...when do you think that might be exactly?
I loved this room at CAF. Robert Harley has a Wadax in for review and he told me it was really spectacular. I was already a fan of the Gobels but the level of resolution of the digital files Elliot was playing was really special. I am headed to Florida in the new few months and I look forward to hearing them in the Bending Wave reference room.
Another vote for Elliott's room; the Wadax Reference DAC did everything I remember from Munich 2019 and seemingly more. The new Reference Server & Streamer was similarly impressive and I'd like to know a lot more about the new Atlantis/X upgraded transport that hit our shores a couple days before the shore and was present in the room. The newer Goebel speakers were to my ears excellent and I think I liked them even more than I liked their next level up brothers, Divine Noblesse in Munich 2019!
The pairing of gear and cables with speakers was masterful as was the setup which seemed perfect. I was quite frankly surprised to hear a typical hotel venue room be made to sound as if it wasn't a hotel venue room and Elliott pulled it off most assuredly. IMHO he was one of a few setup masters at the show that really aced it.
Top to bottom coherency, full range frequency extension, lifelike imaging, tone, etc....this room had it all!
I've seen some folks posting saying it was a great room "but would have been better with a better amp than the JC1+". Honestly the sound
of those amps surprised the hell out of me and if they would have been behind a screen, I would not have known they were there and others
would not have posted comments such as that on various forums. They were proof that you don't have to have a bank of $50K-$100K+ amps
that look like small coffins at an even more deadly weight and price combo to pair with gear like the Goebel and Wadax to get a room to sound great.
Well done Elliott!

I'm very suprised about JC1+ opinions. I haven´t listened them so i have to admit i've changed my opinion from "not enought good" to very interesting amplifiers.

This afternoon at Sound Sevilla. Quite impressive sound, although the 25 m2 of the room was insufficient for the Göbel speakers.
Stunning setup.love the speakers and equipment.the wadax is amazing of course.

Looks like a good size room.I got bigger speakers than that in a smaller room.

I don't think that room in the picture is too small for the Divin Marquis. I will say that having a pair of speakers behind them is not the greatest for sound . This would also be true in reverse to be fair as well if you were listening to the M-Pros with the Marquis behind them. The best way would be with only one pair of speakers in the room period. If he has to have the second pair there they should be moved behind the listening position and short out the speaker inputs so that the speakers have minimal effect on what is playing up front. That is however a really nice looking room.
FYI my room is approx 16 by 23.3 with 10 foot ceilings and we have wonderful results with the Marquis. Enjoy
