Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ?

hi, thanks for your input.
Passion series has an overall presentation of slightly forward sounding. it certainly made jazz and small chamber music lifelike and enjoyable. Yes, i also notice pairing YBA and Focal speakers in shows as they share that open soundstage feel. You'll notice Passion being sold in the market, but never Classics! and i heard ECM1-UP, feels analog and sweet but only 55-60% close to YBA classic.
Have you heard cdp from CEC or Metronome ? my dealer have problems getting these for demo.. regards.

HI, i'v heard the Metronome dac, transport at the Stereophile shows in NY.
But I wasn't able to a A/B it to anything.
My friend has the the CEC TL-1X transport modified by Reference audio Mods with a Audio Aero Prima dac.
This is one of the best combinations i'v heard.
It sounded so analog like a turntable.
The only thing i could compare it to, would be the REIMYO CDP-777 CD Transport/Player, that uses the JVC K2 processor in it.
Another top of the line dac and transport i heard that sounded amazing was the Eximus Dac and Transport.
I dont think they make it anymore.
Here's a pic of it http://www.shows.soundstagelive.com/shows/ces2005/showstoppers4.shtml

hi, thanks for the link, i didn't know Koreans can produce superb CDPs! i'm not sure if their present Stello CDp are just as good, anyway, would keep options open.
do you listen to LP or disc? have you heard Simaudio? i just listened it yesterday and it's very airy as far as other HIfi i heard, but seems digital and forward. Oh! YBA just relaunch Signature range, see their web www.yba.fr but seems very different from YBA original design concept.

I've had YBA electronics with Vandersteen speakers for 17 years. Once I put the system together I stopped looking and started to really listen.

yes Digepix, that's what i'm been doing for last 8yrs, being listening music nothing else, but when i plans to upgrade, i discover they (YBA) no longer do classics anymore, i being under the impression that they seldom update the website & still produce it on demand since Passion series are still relevant. Now it seems YBA has everything change, undergoing major product line overhaul.
anyone familar with PassLab or Mcintosh preamp? thanks.
