I can't stay silent - today we received Helene DAC, "baby" DAC from Aries Cerat. What a baby, what a beauty. From the very fist second the sound was sublime, digital rarely gets better than this - in form of Kassandra DAC only probably. I am not saying this lightly, just compare Helene to all the big guns, you would be surprised. Rich, transparent sound, real body of instruments, timbre to die for, as analog as possible, but most importantly, natural music flow, touching your heart and soul. Be warned, after listening you might need to sell some very expensive equipment. But there is solution - you buy Kassandra LE, thus may be less painful.
Oh my, oh my - Aries Cerat Helene DAC

Hello MatthiasHi Stavros,
I just watched the great YT interview with you by Ron Resnick
Helene offers an output of 30Vpp so for a simple system with high sensitivity speakers (99dB) a low gain integrated amplifier should provide enough amplification even for high SPL.
Would it be interesting for @Aries Cerat to offer such an amplifier for a system with Helene?
Thank you
Are you in my head?
Seriously now, it has been a thought for some years, i even pulled a prototype for it.
The problem is that this will be specific to our dacs alone. Small problem but still.
Such an amp is more of a buffer with volume than an full blown amp, as the gain is provided by the dac.
More than possible, for a small 10-14W amp.
