A few major changes for me last year:
Revisited Denafrips and bought the Ares 12th-1 pre-loved just out of curiosity. I loved it so much so then tried adding the Denafrips Iris DDC, which was a really nice addition, so much so my x3 more expensive DAC didn't make it back on to my rack.
Impressed by this I ordered the Pontus II 12th-1, but actually received the Pontus 15th unexpectedly (I started a thread on this in the Summer).
The Pontus with the Iris, to me is lovely.
Last year I also scratched an itch to try tubes, so ordered the Heaven 11 Billie Mkii - absolute game changer for me. I don't think I could be without tubes again.
I used to own an Atoll IN200 Signature integrated, and kind of regret selling it, so bought an Atoll AM200 power amp I found as ex-demo stock, so now use this with the Billie Mkii in pre-amp mode. Although the Billie was able to drive my ATC SCM 40's, the AM200 seems to handle the ATC's with more conviction, if that makes sense 😊
Other than these changes, I also went with Zavfino Prima Mkii speaker cables which won't be going anywhere 👍
