Octave vs Ayon integrateds


Has anyone compared these 2 brands of integrateds?

I have heard pretty good sound from an Ayon integrated (haven't heard the Octave). But, I agree with Audiooracle that Synthesis is another brand that should be given serious consideration. They make terrific sounding amps and very good DACs.
RE the location Ayon products are made:

I saw the post noting that the factory is in Austria, not the PRC. Does anyone know if they assemble everything there or do they use the PRC for some of their products.
