I wanted to share my recent impressions of the Soulution 511 amplifier. I set it up with the Weiss Helios DAC connected directly to the Solution 511, driving a pair of new Magico S3 (2023) speakers. It sounded absolutely wonderful.
The Helios is exceptional and the 511 really let everything come through with superb transparency. Speed and detail equal to the best I have heard, with a tonally neutral presentation, outstanding control, and super smooth without a hint of anything dry or harsh. In fact, music sounded more natural and lush than compared to other amplifiers with very low levels of distortion. Bass was tight, accurate, and fast without sounding sharp or overemphasized. The midrange was beautiful and vocals realistic.
A couple of my test tracks consist of a live recording of a rock concert that starts with the audience cheering and clapping, and Anna Kendrick's Cups which has rhythmic clapping and solo vocals. With other amplifiers, the cheering and clapping on these tracks has always exhibited some variation in clarity and focus. But multiple playbacks with this setup did not—the cheers and claps were consistent, clear, crisp, and sounded real and correct. I was so incredibly pleased to hear this! Of course all the other music on my test playlist was also rendered beautifully.
