| Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th? LTA Aero in house here. Sounding fantastic. Very nice build. Easy to use. Solid. Soundwise, I really dig it. Very clear, crisp, but has some nice glow and bloom. Still breaking it in. I will not be return this guy! | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC @steam_engine , I have the LTA Aero here. I won't be sending it back. Very nice texture, scaling, imaging and detail. It's a winner. | |

| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @mm1tt77 , Thank you for sharing your rich experience here. I’m particularly grateful for those sharing and being objective.

| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @ararem , I'm seeing the Aries Mini as being both Roon Ready and not. I need it to be able to run Roon as an endpoint. | |

| Upgrade from Revival Atalante 5s @driftingbunnies , I ended up moving some stuff around--substituting in a Lumin T3 streamer/DAC, and a modwright 150 reference phono stage. It appears the Luxman likes to show weaknesses in other gear! It sounds much better now. Still, I could u... | |

| Upgrade from Revival Atalante 5s @driftingbunnies , I agree with charles7... I own the Atalante 5s. I've run into something similar. When paired with a Class A Luxman L-590axii, they sound very good but not amazing. This has been vexing as they sounded better with a Marantz P... | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? OP, the LTA Aero is out of your range but looks right up your alley. Mine is on order. I agree with you. There’s so much hype. So many reviews. So many forum threads. It gets confusing fast. | |
| New York City Audio/Hifi Bars and Cafes This is great stuff! | |

| Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th? Yes, I do not need MQA or DSD. I2s is not needed too. I prefer not to combine the DAC and preamp--so I'm not tied to each in one. LTA looks to have great service. That's great to hear firsthand too. |
