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?

Mine just took closer to 500 hours before fully opening up. In the end it doesn't have a whole lot in common anymore with the S2 other than the case and the power supplies at least those were my findings.

The S3 upgrade is worth every penny. If you haven't read Dave Abramson's review of the S3 as opposed to the S2 and the PSA Directstream after he got his back from the upgrade.
