My buddy had an Ayon CDP had a bitch of a time trying to exchange tubes.
Ayon DAC or...
I’ve been thinking about buying tubed Ayon Stratos or newer version - Ayon Kronos DAC. Do you have any experience with them? I like their sound quality, design and preamp function, but I’m wondering if I can find anything better in their price range? I don’t have experience with DACs and I didn’t check a lot of them, but I’d love to buy a DAC that I’ll be satisfied for at least 2-3 years..
There’s of course Lampizator from my country, but it costs much more and used ones usually don’t have preamp. Could you please advice on Ayon? Or suggest if Lampizator is indeed another, higher league in this comparision?
