If I'm correct he tried the preamp + amp but using another Dac - check post #36 of this thread

Thanks Taww, I appreciate your advice. It's funny, I just saw a video on youtube where the CEO is presenting the R3 with essence in the background. I'm thinking about getting in touch with them to see if I could visit them for a demo.

Thanks for this, I will look into it. The R3 are similar in size to what I have now. I just saw that they can offer piano finish which would be nice.

Hi Taww, Sorry for the late reply, this week has been hectic and for some reason I didn't get post notifications. Thank you for your very valuable input. Every thing you say makes a lot of sense and resonates with me. I want to give you a bit of context into my reasoning behind my choices for...

Yes there are but in french. I think I might buy one, if yes I’ll let you know

With chrome you can paste the link and translate the page. Not sure on iPad but on MacBook it works

Ahah, there's nothing wrong with it but we have a saying in french: La sauce devient plus chère que le gigot - meaning the sauce is more expensive than the meat! That being said, I'm considering it and I think I will do it in medium - short term but in the meantime I want a new system asap...

I like to think perfection is a direction and not a final state!

This hobby is like nothing else. I've actually seriously considered moving to accommodate bigger speakers!

Other speakers I looked at were joseph audio perspective graphene 2 I've never listened to the audiovector's. After taww review I looked at them and also looked at the SR3 but they dont have the same level of finishing as the sr6....ahhhh there's always something right? otherwise it wouldn't be...

I've seen one on another forum but he's in the US and I'm in France! I'll write to him Where I am is a no man's land for hifi! I usually travel abroad quite a lot for work but I'm kinda stuck at home with all this Covid BS!

Yes, you're spot on on the logic behind it. The problem that I foresee is that as always in hifi I would have a to spend considerably more for marginal gains. I will keep on investigating but it's not easy because if you ask 10 people you're going to have 10 answers! At one point, I'm just gonna...

Hi @eagle3333 Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm over the brand and your experience! If I had more space I would seriously consider your speakers as well since I find them stunning. I took a look at the audiovector but I'm limited in depth. I can't have them too forward in the room and I don't...

Any comments on the Zena DAC module are also appreciated. I believe that I will go for it for a few reasons: One less box & cables Price is competitive vs higher end dac's It is designed to work with this combo/setup

Thanks, I will let you know how it develops. I'm gonna go and have a second more thorough listen at the A3's as well as the S1MKII

Thanks for your answer Listening to the A3's, they sounded like the cabinet was extremely inert and only the drivers were moving - which makes me think that a combination of high current that will have a very good grip on good drivers would work well. I also hope the gryphon class A will bring a...

Hi Guys, @eagle3333 @taww Thanks for your informative and detailed reviews! I have been looking at building a new system from scratch for a while now but having limited auditioning options and obviously travel restrictions due to the current situation I find reviews like yours are very helpful...

Hi, You should check out this french brand. I've had previous class D amps and preamps/dac from them and it's working very very well for the price. The guy is a very very good engineer and has implemented serious technologies in his products...

Hi Guys, I've been looking for some time to build a new system from scratch and I've been scratching my head to find the right speakers. Given my room size, I should be looking at bookshelf/stand-mount speakers but I've always kind of found them lacking something plus I like the look of...
