I vote for the Resolution Opus 21. CX-7 is slightly distant and too refine (polite) sounding. The Opus 21 gives sound that is a little bit more present (emotional) with lots of details that should mate well with the Totems. The Totems are very revealing of upstream components and should revel at all the details that the RA Opus 21 dig up. Make sure you mate with good quality cables. Otherwise you would defeat the purpose.
Resolution Audio Opus 21 or Ayre CX-7?
These appear to be the two finalists to pair with my Totem Forests and Plinius (single ended ouput) integrated. Though
I've been unable to listen to either, the load of positive feedback both enjoy leaves me confident that either would likely be a good choice.
Are there any factors I should weigh here? The single ended outputs of the amp? The fact that the R.O. would not be hooked up directly with an amp per se'? The tonality of my existing gear? Anything else?
I listen to many types of music. Thanks.
