I yearn for a good TOTL (Yggdrasil level) recent (say 4493 or >) AKM implementation. The Holo Spring 3 KTE was almost it, but leaned a little too much toward ESS sound/emphasis, though I might end up getting one anyways
I can appreciate your choices, though I found other synergies in my system. I still own an Emotiva ESS DAC (for my 2.1) and I’m listening to an HE560. It’s all about following your ears!
If I made more money I'd have a Sus, so I'm at least a spiritual member of your minority cluster. Not sure how I'd amp it but I'd probably keep Yggdrasil
@crenca perhaps not your cup of tea, but I’ve found Pi2AES with HQPlayer embedded provides me with great sound shaping ability. I prefer my Holo Spring 3 over Bifrost, Modi I, or Emotiva now.
Cryptowolf: Didn't know Emotiva had ess. Their xda dac (ad-chip I recall) was not bad!
roshambo123: I am rather finding Sus was pretty generous to head amps once power requirements met. In good ways, re-discovering what opamps are capable of.
