Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso
Audiozen come on, only Belles makes musical electronics?If Belles products were so remarkable why are there next to no dealers.Yes the Aria does sound like a terrific integrated with a phono, but is it better than an Electrocompaniet or a Unison R...

Good choice. It will take a $60k and above price range to better what you have. Personally I would recomend an electronics change.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Nitewolf,  the Davinci has  two completely separate dacs in one chassis.There is a pure resisitor ladder as well as a sigma delta engine for DSD and both enginges sound fantastic. There is a lot of innovative ideas in the Davinci and the excution ... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Imgoodwithtools, we had a customer bring in his Berkley Ref 1 which I know in'st the latest howerver we compared it to our Davinci Dual Dac MK I which isn't as good as the newer MK II. So it was a fair title match up last series of each head to he...

Come on Contuzzi, you like the Paradigm Personas so I have to respect you and your opinions somewhat.You don't understand my classification, lets just simplify almost any uber high tech metal based driver is going to sound detailed, clean, transpa...

Khost, what you smoking, every Focal ever made can sound a bit forward, any Beryilium tweeter is going crystal clear out to 40k, this tends to pull the ear towards the top, hence the slightly fatter tuning in the midrange which makes the Sopras so... 
Audiophile Setup with an Iphone 7
 The Ayre comments were good but I don't think the OP wants to build a Rasberry PI device.So the questions the OP should ask himself are:1: How good do I want it to be which will affect budget?2: Headphones only or a system with an amplifier for f... 
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
Mr Jmcgrogan,Over the years we have had Chord, Electrocompaniet, Plinius, Hegel, Luxman, Devialet, in both our reference room and our next step down room.We tested out the Thrax gear which was fantastic, and have run demos vs Boulder and big Krell...

As a Legacy dealer we couldn't agree more.  The Focus SE are flat out amazing, we heard a current set with the self amplified bass option being used with the Wavelet Dac/Preamp/Room Correction processor with a set of Raven tube amps athe the last ...

Greginnh, actually that is a great idea.So far no one has asked for an in home demo believe it or not.We have the separates on display later this year we will get an HV and R series integrated on display.We did have the 2500r in for a week and it ...

Contuzzi, Focals are not laid back in the treble, never said they are bright either I said they tend to sound forward, that means they have a very clean treble and are quite detailed.Beryilium tweeters tend to go towards the detailed side same on ...

Lowspark, you need to look at the possible choices and try to figure out what you like about each speaker and what your ear likes.The Martin Logan and the Golden Ear both use Heil tweeters, you may like the voicing of the Golden Ear which tends to...

Karurravi,A tube amplifier even an excellent one may not be the best match with the Dynaudio and it is possible the extra power and bass control of the Bel Cantos is doing it for you compared to what the tube amplifier was doing.T+A's older produc...

Bubba why don,t you pm Musicfx and ask him why he choose the 2500r over the Pass?You can see why people stay away from these threads the negativity is ridiculous.From arcane discussions of transistors to an attack on our sound room and knowledge f...
