Ideon DAC's


Been looking for a DAC/Streamer for about 1 year and still have not decided on one. My system is pretty basic, which started out as a dedicated home theater and decided I want to stream music. Currently streaming from Qobuz from via my IPad.

I was introduced to Ideon (never heard of previously). Was thinking of the following two products. Ayazi or Ion dac+ preamp with a Bluesound node.

Current system is as follows:

ATI 4005 amp

Marantz AV7706 processor

Sonus Faber Sonneto V Speakers

Any input  or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same exact experience as you.

The Merason DAC1 has not been taken off its perch on my rack since its arrival.

The Ayazi is great, but it’s a dac only. You should seriously consider a Lumin too, prob a used T3. No inputs, but sounds fantastic.
