Hi Brett,
I listened to the 302 connected to a pair of Sophia's and was not impressed with either the sound or the build quality. I heard the Simaudio Andromeda coming through the Raidho Eben X3's and was floored. I took a chance and ordered the Supernova unseen & unheard and I couldn't be happier, both with the sound and build quality. Keep in mind that my comparison is not an apples to apples one but I have no regrets with my decision. I would let the Simaudio dealer know that you are contemplating purchasing one or the other and you would like to audition the Supernova at home, If he or she declines, than your choice is easy. You also want to do business with a good Audio Retailer. Good Luck.
