Voyagers Being Delivered. Comments Please


I haven't gotten mine yet, so looking for comments.

I've said all along that it's going to take something really special to improve upon my EVS 1200. And since I first started the fire of interest for the Voyager, I discovered how much better coax is than optical. That discovery alone has made a quantum improvement, so...

The other thread has been overrun with ASR fetishists, so since I actually own a Voyager, I feel like it's safe to comment here. I am merely a high school English and guitar teacher, not an electrical engineer, but I have owned some nice equipment over the years. I can only relate that for me the LSA is a clear step up from Parasound Halo A21 it's replacing, and while my W4S SX-1000R monos are awesome, I find the LSA to be smoother and more refined, while being quite competitive with the W4S on the bottom end. The W4S are heading for HT duty. The LSA is a very good amp and I'm quite pleased with it. 

I loved my A21 a lot, and I wouldn't have replaced it, but it needed an extensive repair that would have essentially cost the same as I paid for the unit back in 2006. Rather than just get another one or the  new A21+, I simply wanted to try something new, and I specifically was interested in GaN technology. I took recent advantage of the sale Underwood is having, and I don't regret it. I don't think I even have 70 hours on it yet, but for me the magic is in the midrange with this amp. It is fantastic with vocals. Right now, the bass is not up to the the A21 standards, but I think it will improve with further break in. FWIW, my DAC is the Gustard X26 Pro and the ELAC Vela 403.
