The set-up
Contents
We tried the new Isotek Aquarius V5 particularly on the Metrum Acoustics Pavane d/a converter (DAC3) and the Metrum Acoustics Ambre streamer. The Pass Labs XP-12 is not a fan of filters we already know from experience. The Bryston we find a too heavy load to seriously try on the Aquarius. Customers of a Bryston 4B are not going to use it like this. We advise them to use a Titan because of the peak current that the Bryston can generate. The Yamaha A-S2200 will do, we have already noticed.
The complete system consists of:
- Pass Labs XP-12
- Bryston 4B SST3
- Focal Sopra No1
- Metrum Acoustics Pavane (DAC3)
- Mutec MC3+ USB
- Alpha Audio PC with Jcat XE cards
- Driade Flow speaker cables
- Driade Flow interlinks
- Grimm TPM interlinks
- Audioquest Carbon USB
