Aesthetix MIMAS

I had the Mimas in my home system for a week after listening to it extensively at my dealers with Vandersteen Treo’s , Vandy model 2’s and some Proac floor-standers, I cant recall the model. One of the best sounding amps I have ever heard. Made my Harbeth’s sound amazing. I have one on order and can’t wait to receive it. It will be replacing an Ayre AX-7e. Your Ax-5/20 is no slouch though, so I would definitely try to hear the Mimas in your system and see how they compare. 

 @joey54  congrats !!!! i know a guy w Quattro and the MIMAS on order...oh how spoiled he will be.......

bumping this one.  I have one on order with the built in DAC.   Any other user impressions or has anyone else heard this one?

It's the best integrated that I have heard. Sounds amazing with my Harbeth's. I didn't hear that the DAC was shipping yet. I will be interested to hear your impressions on it. It wasn't out when I ordered mine and I am still using my Codex. The plan has always been to add the DAC. Great to hear that it's shipping. 

I heard it at AXPONA, in one of my two favorite rooms there. Very natural sound, just lovely. If memory serves, it was paired with Aerial 6t speakers.
