Antipodes Audio - K22 G4

I’m interested in consolidating my 2 box Innuos PhoenixUSB/ ZENith mk3 into one unit. That and an upgrade in sound quality will be a welcome bonus.

I am after a good synergy with my Chord DAVE/ NAIM NAC332 / NPX 300 PSU and active ATC 100’s.

I cannot demo the K22, so any advice on this possible upgrade will be welcome. I’d like a fast, dynamic, detailed but also balanced sound.

I use a Chord Dave with the Antipodes Oladra Music server. I used a K41/K21 combination prior to Oladra. In my system, I prefer Antipodes to Aurender, Zenith, and several other music servers. Your preferences may be different.

Listening in my own system is impossible. However I like a fast, dynamic sound that’s also even and not harsh in anyway. Sounds like you have / had a similar source with Antipodes and DAVE. That’s where the flavour comes from anyway, you can’t really change that, only season it a bit from there on in the chain.
