Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet?
I agree with you on these points and do fully understand.   
Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet?
Yes the S3 sounds better and we agree. I will post my results regardless of your agenda. The upgrade to the S3 costs hundreds more than the cost of a new Orchid. Then there are the shipping costs and not having your dac for a couple of weeks. We A...

Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"
Thanks @ghasley. You are correct that I am pointing out the fact that the company makes products with higher than usual in use problems and failures from the perspective of these Amazon reviews. Not making it up and one just needs to read. Many al...
