I placed an order for the A200 with Colin at Gestalt Audio, which I hope to receive in the next couple of weeks. Look forward to comparing to my TRL Dude/KR Audio Kronzilla combo. In addition to the reviews in High Fidelity and Positive Feedback, ...

@grannyring Sorry I meant Innuos Sense! 
Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith
@grannyring So have you found that Roon 1.8 with the September update is now on par with Roon Sense? 
Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith
You might want to talk to Benjamin from Mojo Audio about his Deja Vu Server. I ordered a refurbished used model with the latest JCAT USB and Ethernet cards, which I hope to receive in the next couple of weeks. He has a 45 full refund policy so you...

KR Audio Kronzilla monoblocks

@reverendo Just a question for a clarification, did you think the Lampizator GG crushed the Cantata or vice versa? I interpreted your statement as the former but wanted to make sure.  
Holo Audio May DAC
I have a Big 7 that is about 6 years old. I really think it very nice especially with good tubes. I have KR Audio’s RK 300b tubes with an RK rectifier, which really help to bring it alive. I’m always curious about something else but it is hard to ... 
Holo Audio May DAC

Holo Audio May DAC
@in_shore @jriggy @cal3713 THanks for the responses about the KTE being more of a lateral move from the Lampizator. The Big 7 is from 2015 so I only have DSD 128 running right now and not the latest PCM. But still sounds great. But not sure if hav... 
Holo Audio May DAC
@in_shore Re: your comment that the Holo May KTE in combination with the 432 Evo Aeon have produced  "by a large margin the best playback of well recorded music I have ever experienced in my home so far" - I was wondering how much of that improved... 
Lampizator Big 7 USB Connection Question
Did you flip the toggle switch over to the USB position? 
REGEN by UPTONE AUDIO
JPerry and Celtic66, just take a few minutes to read the threads at Computer Audiophile and you will see that Hifial is not touting anything. I started following the threads on this product as it was coming out and decided on a lark to order one o...
