Pls compare it to your Soulnote A-2 using the small box as source for a honest comparison. I’m especially curious if the Maria is as natural and rich sounding. :)
In the short music parts Old rig: audiophool server- LHY Sw10- Arce- I2S - Terminator+ ( clocksync to Arce) XLR to Soulnote A2 New Maria rig: Audiophool Server-LHY SW10-Arce- RCA SPDIF to Maria
Curious how your reaction is after few days of settling in. Was always amazed by m1 and his amplifiers. Eager to learn if his C-wave is the next step up..
Hallo lieber Mike. Die filmische Umsetzung des Videos hat mir nicht besonders gefallen, aber mein Interesse an DH MARIA geweckt. Also habe ich einen MARIA gekauft.: MARIA ist de facto der beste Integrated Amp, den ich je hatte. McIntosh & NAGRA Amps klangen dagegen lahm und uninspiriert.
Hallo, ich versuche den besten Ton hinzubekommen, nicht das beste Bild oder Drehbuch. Maria ist outstanding. Ein paar Tricks habe ich noch... ja, leider bleiben andere Hersteller weit dahinter zurück... Viel Spaß mit Maria..Perfekt Match ist der Aurender N20 auch mit ein paar Tricks... cheers Mike
Hi, yes and no :)..I always listened to the Soulnote A2 at 23 and rarely had to change anything. But it was pleasant with the remote control. I find that once I have found my volume with Maria 350, I no longer have to adjust it. For the sound advantage, I like to stand up just to turn up the volume because it sounds so open and real... cheerrs Mike
Wow inside the unit there's less going on than in the lhy sw10 switch. 12k euro? Why are you not going directly from the music server 2.0 to the maria, are you using it only as a roon core and not endpoint? Why so?
Hi, unfortunately, I find your criticism somewhat inappropriate as the comparison is unfair. I have both devices here, you might want to look at the pictures on DH's website without the metal lid/cooling plate. The sound result also counts in a fair evaluation; owners of Maria 350 sell their systems that cost many times more. Proof enough. I had Arce in Clocksync with the Terminator+, which is a combination that's hard to beat. Now comes an upgrade with a Denafrips clock for the Arche or the big solution of a USB card from JCat with OCXO for the server... let's see. Cheers Mike
Your excitement is contagious. Those discoveries don't come around often but make this crazy audiophile hobby very precious indeed.
Nice Mike, love your enthusiasm! Gee those brief snippets sounded good, looking forward to hearing more of the Maria.
Yep, there's something special going on in these DH setups. love em!!
Thank you for sharing Mike!
did a second one, Viborg fits nearly perfect...also powerplug inlets...cheers Mike
Really interested by your honest review. First impressions: sounds amazing :-)
I don't think this thing will age gracefully.
@@auggysimcity I wish! Are you an owner? If so, congratulations! Drop a word here how it sounds once a honeymoon period is over, please!
Cant wait to hear the magic

Develop a 'revolutionary' amp/dac and then leave out a remote control. Doh!

your overall membran surface looks overkill for the room you own. go for smaller speakers. like daniel hertz m7b.
please learn more about open baffle speaker before comment like this
@@headquarteraudio5388 i only trust my ears. sorry about that.
@@MrBazsi888 I think I might trust Mike’s ears as he’s y’know, the one in the room with ‘em.
