Looking forward hearing about your findings as things evolve in your set up.

Reporting back from above. I went from the 300 to the 333. Speakers are Joseph Audio Perspectives. About 45 hours in. I'm VERY impressed with the jump. How can an amp be supple, warm, tonally gorgeous -- with sledgehammer grip -- and also so resolving? Top end is lovely; zero hash. And none of the leading edge "hey I'm here" of the 300. Utterly grainless; total liquid. Imaging, separation of players (but not spotlit), touch, PrAT, ... all there. But with this Darth Vader foundation / blackness. I mention the speakers above only because I think this is a strong pairing ... like, they love each other. This "Gryphon sound" can be a new thing for folks. It was for me a few years ago. But it's highly, highly addictive.

Have listened to your speakers with the Diablo 120, some years back, and my jaw dropped. The most natural sound heard to date, tonality was so true. I would have never thought to pair them with the 300, at the time, as they are not, that demanding for power. Less alone with the 333, I am about to pull the trigger on one, and then will be parting with my 300/DAC, to find a good home in EU.

Hi JRW1971,
A few weeks further, what are your thoughts about the 333? Did you had any of the modules installed?
I am also thinking of going the Diablo 333 route.
Bests,
