Both Antipodes and Innuos are excellent sounding, as we only heard them briefly in our store in Cambridge, MA. The LINN Klimax Organik is in many ways a contender, features maybe the most iconic design, yet does not offer the SD storage of dsd files as of now, which is why you may look forward to the next gen of Innuos which we expect after the Munich High End.
Our AAVIK SD 880 is a mindblowingly rich sounding flagship and leader in this group, as it should be with a retail of $70k, and tops all the before mentioned in sound and appearance, though Linn is always a pleasure to look at and interact with. The SD 880 features the most expensive built, material science and noise cancelleing technology derived from years of research at Ansuz Acoustics, another Audio Group Denmark winner, thus being even closer to the performance, and on par with the six digits top Wadax systems, with a fuller organik bass, or a more analog-at-its-best rendition. Words can only go so far, hear it in person.
