I always thought EST is overrated.

I thought any line noise was cancelled out via the balanced circuit somehow...hmmm ok thanks for that!

Love my Ares2 :) Moon Audio reviews says basically Venus II is the sweet spot.

Just lurking but isnt balanced better always? Lower noise, better dynamics, more power... :) I know lower priced gear dont do balanced but my Jot2 only cost $400 and sounds phenomenal driving my lovely Arya Stealth from the Ares 2 R2R DAC.:)

Mine own amp which I love, $300 is a steal for this beast. GLWS!

I have the Stealth version and I love them GLWS!

Fantastic amp at a giveaway price! GLWS!

I have the Element H plugged into a Ifi low noise external power cord. And the dac, amp, ifi power cord, and the computer itself are all plugged into a BIC 500 Denefrips balanced power transformer. :) I'm using Odin II power cables and XLR cables. AresII DAC and Jotunhiem 2 AMP with Arya...

Amazing sounding player at a great price! GLWS!
