Trying to make a little sense of this. The current amp/dac pairing I have for my Stellia is a Gustard Dac X12 and Gustard H10 amp. Yesterday I had a chance to listen to my Stellias via the Focal Arch using the Stellia & Hybrid preset on High and Low gain only to realize the Gustard sounded just as clean (if not cleaner) with more power to spare from a drivablity aspect. Comparing the two back to back honestly made me question why the Arch is even priced at around the $1000 price point let alone $2500 which sounds overpriced for what it is tbh. My findings can't possibly be outlandish can it? I might end up getting the Arch anyways because the Gustard stuff was already on its way to being sold.
