Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet?


I am considering this dac but would love to hear people’s impressions of it. 
How does it compare to the s2 or the la scala Optologic?

Picked up my Aqua La Scala mk2 optologic yesterday. My local audio shop here in Michigan let me use a Aqua la Voce mk3 while waiting for the La Scala to come in. I had it in my system for over a month.
‘Let me first say that the La Voce mk3 was a great DAC. And until I got the la Scala mk2 optologic in the house, I would have been satisfied with the la voce. 
‘But the La Scala is really something special. 
I have duel rel s/3 sho’s subs And focal Sopra 2. From first plugging the La Scala in, it felt like the subs had been turned up. It took a few minutes before I realized that the bass was much more, but also much more defined. Defined but warm at the same time. 
Also very nice openness. 
my system:
audio research gsi75 intergraded amp 
innuos zenith mk3 
focal sopra 2
Rel s/3 sho x 2
Kubala Sosna interconnects and speaker cables 

The pair of specially selected ECC81 tubes GENALEX Gold Lion, (which is a recent change)
also new capacitors of power supply, resistors of analog boards and use new special solder alloy.
