We connect a Sonnet Morpheus to the AVID Accent via a pair of Driade Flow 808 Reference rca cables. The AVID Accent is connected to the Revels with Driade Flow 405 Reference speaker cables. The Sonnet Morpheus gets its signal via I2s from the Sonnet Hermes. The Musical Fidelity CD transport goes through the aes/ebu balanced to the Sonnet Morpheus via a Ricable Magnus cable.

Is the Nad m23 better in sound quality than the Avid please? 🙂

You can’t say that. It’s a matter of taste and it depends on the combination with your speakers. Also: the M23 is a power amp. This Avid is an integrated amp, so it has a pre-amp section as well.
