Hi Blue58,
Well, Jerome Andre with AG in Asia, interesting, thank you for the news.
I am in touch with Bruno Ginard from Vermeer Audio, the idea of upgrading La Fontaine is still to be considered.
Last few days I played with La Fontaine because my Big 7 have been upgraded by Lukasz ( new clock in amanero board ), I also ordered EML 45 Anniversary, just received today the DAC, will listen tonight.
As far as settings of XD are concerned , I downloaded the software from AG website and spent a few hours to check how it works.
In the beginning I was disapointed with the default AG settings , also those by Eter Audio were not perfect to my ears.
Finally , I modified the latter and the speakers started to sing . When they do , it's something, bass is much better controlled, has authority and punch. The goal is to integrate it with the room and midrange . When you achieve that, they are much better than Omega imho.
Long story short, I am very pleased but the journey to the nirvana only begun.
I am in touch also with the guy from AG in Germany , he is of polish origin and very helpful to me.
Here are my best settings up to day :
