Aqua La Scala

Set-up and installation

Contents

We connected the Aqua La Scala unbalanced to our Moon amplifier. This gave the best results in our system. We use the AES/EBU input because the I2S input only works on the Aqua Link streamer and is thus not compatible with our Sonnet Hermes.

Er zijn zelfs complete fora waar beweerd wordt, dat er geen hoorbare verschillen zijn tussen dac’s, versterkers, cd-spelers en bekabeling. En wel, omdat zij meettechnisch geen verschillen vast kunnen stellen. Iemand die dat tegenspreekt wordt verguisd of verbannen.

Hello,
I appreciate your review. I have the Morpheous and considering the Pasithea and La Scala. Are you able to give a comparison sonic wise between the two units?
