Aha,so we did hear the Aries Cerat and liked it ;-)

Is there no Silbatone WE room this year?

NOPE, I guess shipping a container takes more prep time than they got with Covid being an uncertain factor (aka the German govt being a tad slow lifting restrictions)

Sadly not…

Anyone hear the Estalon + MSB rooms? It’s an intriguing combination of gear.

I heard the MSB but was not smitten with the total.

Msb is a very good dAC but it needs to be setup to give it some musicality
as it’s a bit warm of neutral and hard
I think tubes dacs have an edge to making things more musical
the Aires cerate and even better the H dac do this very well.
music is not sterile and it seems some makers push the sound in this direction to give more details

I would not dare pass judgement in a system with every component being different from my reference point, my system at home.

My friend Rick and I just got back from Munich today. We were at both shows all day and every day from Thursday to Sunday close. We heard every room and our favorites multiple times including the obligatory Sunday Walkabout.

Ill post pics and my comments over the coming week on another thread.

Off the top of my head, for me, the best sounds at both shows were (in no particular order), Dali Audio Kore, Soundspace Systems, DCS Sigma/AGD, Western Electric, Absolare/Rockport, Lansche Audio, Acapella, Aries Cerat, Backes Und Muller, Core/Bayz, Ideon/ and the Wadax/Robert Koda/Kharma rooms.

that one picture on the right looks a bit like one belonging to a ransom request ;-)
