sot13 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi - I can only give you feedback on part of your question... I have for few months now the S-10 II signature version. At the beginning, I was not impressed by the sound... My CD (an old... very old Sony SACD-01) and certainly my turntable were much better... Since then, I made several quality changes to my streaming setup. It is ethernet (not USB) based. I have a dedicated PC running W10, JRiver and Fidelizer with my library siting on Synology NAS. Now, four months down the road I can say that streaming my local files is on par or better my CD and almost as good as vinyl. I don't know though, whether this improvement in sound was due to improvement in the "front end" of the streaming setup, or burning in of the Ayon... Most probably both, given that the manufacturer requires at least 30-50 hours burn in. Overall very pleased with the sound! skids929 1 Analogue: Michell Orbe SE, SME IV, Van Der Hul MC10 special, Parasound JC3 (phono stage) Digital sources: Sony SCD 1, Ayon S-10 II (network player / DAC) Amplification: Krell KCT (pre), FBP-350mc monoblocks (x2) Speakers: Dynaudio Evidence Temptation Wiring: Atlas Link to comment
