Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333


It's probably a long shot, but has anyone been able to do a direct or indirect comparison? I would like to hear your impressions of either. I'm looking to simplify my system, and these are the frontrunners I'm considering.

jeffreyw, clearly you prefer the Soulution to both the Gryphon and T+A.

But you say that you might want to change your speakers later as well. Do you know what speakers you might have in the future?

@jeffreyw - congratulations! You’ve discovered a component that “resonates” with you.  Many components sound great, but the ones that pull you in emotionally and are affordable are few.  

@jeffreyw Congratulations and finding the component you connect with emotionally, and that is the point of this hobby.  Do not let comments of others or the press come between what you have discovered and do not get into the trap some audiophiles fall into the fear of missing out on something better (FEMO).  This phrase was coined by a professional reviewer but I do not remember his name to give him credit. If you have FEMO you will never be satisfied.  Good luck in your final decision and enjoy the emotional experience music brings.

Jefferyw,

I owned the ref 1 meta and quickly moved up to the ref 3 meta. The first was probably more accurate to the music, the second was that with more fun.

Oh, and as you probably already discovered the internal  jumper is crap.
