Ayon Triton III a real upgrade considering the price?

I'm using the Ayon Tritton III to power my Dynaudio C4 and other speakers I had for the past 2 years and have absolutely no problems with it.  Pretty dynamic on the C4 for a tube amp.  I haven't found a worthy and affordable upgrade so it's gonna stay in my system for a while.

I own an Ayon Spirit II amp that I have been very happy with, and when the Spirit III came out, decided to "upgrade" to it a few years later. Fortunately, I kept the Spirit II, for I found it to actually sound better all around than the newer Spirit III using the same tubes, cables and speakers. I was a bit surprised that the newer model did not sound better, despite the "improved" features on the III. I sold the III a few months later, for a big loss.....Live and learn!

bigshutterbug,
Maybe you just needed the unit to break-in more.  A few months of constant play would of gotten it to where it needs to be? 

mountainsong,
I used to own a Triton and went to a Triton II after a few months. The difference was more dynamics and slightly clearer defined presentation. This could of mostly been due to the different tubes --from Gold Lion to Black Treasures.
I would bet if you liked your first one, you'll like the new one. Just don't expect it to sound like a completely different amp. It will be the same animal with a couple or few differences to the better in varying small percentages. Thats just how audio upgrades like this work.

Oye, the Ayon ride... In 2015 I bought an Ayon CD-07 and have been absolutely delighted with it. So much so, that three weeks ago I introduced an Ayon Triton III into my system. Why did I write "Oye"? Because every time I add a really great element into my system the remaining weak links become much more visible.

I would highly recommend the Triton III, with a warning that upon adding it you will likely start spending more time wondering if that IC or those speaker cables or god forbid the speakers themselves are up to the level of the III.
