That does look stunning.

Why don't you contact him and see if he'll accept a commission?

I presume the actual hardware is identical though? It's made by Denafrips.

Genius use of scaffolding fittings for the headphone stands :)

Oh dear... Please don't hate me Zach, but that aesthetic just doesn't work for me. I don't like the wood fascia, nor the fussy transformer finish. Much prefer the look of Lord Gywn's DIY version. Good luck with it - am sure it'll sell like hot cakes :)

No. I am in the UK sadly.

Someone listen to the LTA Aero DAC for me please and post impressions.

A realist. Well done.

There is no void in the upper price bracket.

Are you at Axpona?

I'm not hurt.

He's trying to help you - don't see it as a sleight, or an attack. You're getting defensive and there's no need for it.

You will have spent £5500 on a DAC. Who cares about the electric bill?

How do you like PGGB out of curiosity?

I did. It was excellent.

Quite right too.

I approve of this upgrade.

I am considering either the Rose RS130 or Lumin U2. Output from either will be USB into the Aero.

Yes. And yes I could hear an improvement. It wasn't huge, but there. Whether that is worth the cost delta is down to each of us to decide. What I haven't heard, and want to, is the Terminator with clocks feeding the Arcas streamer into my MZ3.

Anything is possible. Perhaps reiterate your point? If I have grasped the stick by the wrong end then I'll be happy to apologise.

If you had listened to them then you'd know there is a difference. They are not the same.

Venus is probably the sweet spot.

No different from May KTE. Buy a rack if you have space?

And that isn't even the best Terminator.

Discussing with Pedja now 😊
