Denafrips Athena- is damn good

@gochurchgo ,

Looking at the Athena as a potential candidate for my next pre. What's your current status with yours, still loving it?

@thecarpathian  still in daily use. If I get rid of it it would be for an endgame I defeated. Short of that it stays.

That's a good endorsement. With the crazy amount of choices out there for my or really anyone's budget, you've got to eventually nail something down. I think this is it. Or, you know, something else!

@gochurchgo ,

Forgot to ask; are you still running it with an Odyssey amp or no?

@thecarpathian  in my previous post I meant to say I’d get rid of it for an endgame integrated amplifier.

yes still using with the Odyssey. The Athena has no gain but the Ofyssey has like 31db of gain so it works great.
