I am happy for you that the Impera Sig is a final destination pre-amp for you!

Would you say the Incito S is a bit fuller or warmer or "bloomier" than Impera Sig?

In day-to-day practice doesn't it annoy you not to have a full set of controls on the preamp itself, as opposed to relying solely on a remote control?
There again I heard them quite a bit apart but I think the sig is a similar sound but digs deeper into the detail and has better separation of instruments, quieter background etc.
I guess you could construe that as more " bloom" in the incito but I would call it more detail in the sig. They are both exciting. The incito is very good value I think.
The remote has not been a problem at all .. surprisingly I don't loose it like I thought I would .. it's pretty hefty so that helps.
The thing that does annoy me is the power switch on the back of psu .. not so bad on incito as it is easy to reach .. but awkward on the sig unless it's on top of the rack

Thank you!

(The way my stuff is arranged I would need two remotes, because it would be very annoying to have to remember to pick up the remote from a guest every time I walk to the other room -- and then walk past the preamp -- continuing on the way to a source. Then, when I walk back to the listening room, and I pass the preamp on the way, I often change source input or volume on my way to the listening room. So it would be pretty inconvenient for me not to have controls on the preamp itself.)
