I have been running my D'Agostino Momentum with my Sonus Faber Amati Anniversaires and outboard EMM DAC for two years now and am never less than thrilled with the sound. The D'Ag replaced an outstanding Accuphase integrated which I loved before I heard the D'Ag. There is a detailed and relaxed purity to the sound that never never tires my ears. The soundstage is deep and focused even in a somewhat compromised room setting. My wife, who always thought that almost any sound level was too high, finds the D'Ag sound so clean she seldom complains. She also adds, "finally a system that looks almost as good as it sounds". I rest my case.
