Sorry for the mistake in my previous post. I should have said "Rega - Elicit-R". The Elicit-R is the Integrated amp I own. I also own the matching CD Player/DAC/Transport, which is the Rega Saturn-R.

Hi tomic601 Re the AESTHETIX MIMAS ... I am seriously considering that integrated (my speakers are the newest Vandy 2CE Sig III). I’m considering getting their DAC in it, but I also am intrigued by the Holo Spring 3 and the Denafrips Pontus 2, or maybe the Schitt Yggdrasil. I am especially interested in R2R laddered resistor DACs. How do you like the Aesthetix DAC? How would you rank it compared to DACs in the $2000-3000 range? How would you describe the character of it? THANKS! |
Currently using the Yamaha A-S1200. Mixed bag here. I got it because it was designed like my old amp...dual Mosfet. However after hook up. it made my 42 year old HPM 100's sound like MUD!! Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad DAY! Tone control was no rescue. I hooked my Monitor Audio Silver 8's to the Yamaha A-S1200, They were already good speakers, but man these things were hummimg through this machine. I also hooked up a pair of Energy C3 speakers with just as much pleasure. Because I simply refuse to give up my HPM's that I enjoy everyday...the Yamaha is now up for SALE! Too refined for my old babies! |
