Hi Edorr, I am all ears here, I no nothing of this brand, If you do not mind, and I hope I am not asking to much?, can you tell me all there is to know of this unit?, thankyou.
Aesthetix is a boutique in California, best know for tube amplifers, mostly its preamps. They also build a DAC (the Pandora), that appears the be a very good performer, and uses it tube technology for volume control (1K option I believe). I was going to audition one but never got around to it. They also have a version of the DAC with build in disc transport (the Romulus). If you're interested I may be able to hook you up with a dealer that may be willing to get you unit for in home audition.
@ Edorr, Hi, I cannot seem to find this on the net, Is it possible you can post a link here to their site so I may look over the Romulus?, thankyou.
A google search for "Aesthetix Romulus" will get you right there, but here it is. It is basically a Pandora DAC with a transport. You are more likely to find a review of the Pandora than the Romulus.
