I tried the Ayazi with the 3R Master Time Black Star (along with a bunch of other stuff) with my Fleetwood Deville SQs, Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 and McGary Amp. The bottom line is I did not love it. I got to go back and forth between the Ideon stack and a Merson DAC1 and liked the Merason much, much better in my system. Streaming came from an Innuos Zenith MkIII server and also a Sonore Optical Rendu.
Ideon DAC's
Been looking for a DAC/Streamer for about 1 year and still have not decided on one. My system is pretty basic, which started out as a dedicated home theater and decided I want to stream music. Currently streaming from Qobuz from via my IPad.
I was introduced to Ideon (never heard of previously). Was thinking of the following two products. Ayazi or Ion dac+ preamp with a Bluesound node.
Current system is as follows:
ATI 4005 amp
Marantz AV7706 processor
Sonus Faber Sonneto V Speakers
Any input or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
