With the low gain version of the Incito S, i.e. with 8dB gain, the sound is like with switch at -20 on the normal Incito S version.That question is very interesting. With a fixed 8db, the sound is like with the switch at -20 or -16?
It may influence my pre amp, but with my Kassandra in standart output the sound is impressive, when I put the switch on -6 db, the sound loses life and the bass is woolly, I do not like it.That is correct! But in both cases the sound is excellent and world class. If you haven't heard the 20dB version, you would love the 14dB setting. If you only know the 20dB setting, you would quickly get accustomed to the 14dB setting.
In other words, difference is really minor in my opinion.

Can you tell me if the Incito-S works just as well using its RCA and XLR outputs? Someone told me that its XLR outputs are not authentically balanced. I would be very interested to know.
Hello FranciscoHi Stavros.
As I understand it, do the XLR connectors have a ground pin? How can they be floating?
Hi David, what is the verdict on the Incito S comparison?I finally bought one IncitoS , and without listening before . I can compare with my Cello
Only one way to be certain, bring your EAR to compare at your dealer.Hi guys,
i heard recently the big Aries Cerat integrated. I was very impressed.
i have an Ear 912 pre. Is it better to add the entry level AC amp to it, or buy instead the entry level integrated?
the dealer in France thinks the pre inside the AC integrated is already better. I doubt.
The second thing is that I already use the phono of the EAR . So would have to buy also a separated phono.
what do you think?
I heard the Incito S in my system between the Metrum Adagio and driving my Audionet MAX amplifiers 12 weeks ago. I ordered one immediately (previous setup was the Metrum Adagio driving the MAXs directly).
It was magic. Inserting a layer of humanity, density and drive and an outstandingly epic soundstage I had not experienced when driving the maxes directly with the Metrum Adagio.
To my ears, here was no discernable insertion loss. That bares repeating THERE WAS NO DISCERNABLE INSERTION LOSS.
This is the first Pre that changed my perception that, when it comes to digital, the best preamp is no preamp.
The Incito S, to my ears, completely destroys that tenet, at least in he context of this system.
The Aries Cerat DACs are equally special. When our budget allows, we will add one of the Kassandra to our reference system.
Despite the 12 week wait, I ordered the Incito S and became an Aries Cerat Dealer here in Canada.
Well the wait is over, and the Incito S arrives today!!
Until we are able to procure the Kassandra 2 REF, we will have to rough it* with either our Mola Mola Tambaqui or the Metrum Adagio feeding the Incito S and the Audionet MAXs. I'm expecting the Tambaqui as the source driving the Incito S to be quite stunning.

Can you write more about using Mola Tambaqui, especialy how it sounds direct or throgh Incito, and also how you compareTambaqui with Kassandra?I heard the Incito S in my system between the Metrum Adagio and driving my Audionet MAX amplifiers 12 weeks ago.
