I can tell you right now that the 861 amplifier will absolutely blow away the w8 and I have the w8 and I just listen to the 861 online at the Montreal show and even online I could tell that it's better than my w8.
I think its very similar on the amplification side. Voicing is spot on, the 761 has some more kick and refinement for sure, but the preamp section in the 791 is on a whole other level compared to the integrated
no extremely high end ones are the 891 and 861. They are a lot better than these with a better discrete preamp instead of a chip run op amp toy this one is
I am no troll I do know wifi is not the best for audio quality man. I run a Grimm MU1 streamer into a switchX switch into my Lampizator. If you want someone mature to follow you it needs to be in a more mature setup to test things.@@HiFiTurtle
Spotify connect?? Now why on earth would anyone who spends this much money on these, ever listen Spotify at all, with its low quality compressed, ruined sound quality?
Such a huge design flaw to put a mobile screen on a preamp that sits 20 feet away from the listener. A mobile app would have provided a better user experience and lower manufacturing cost. The exec that made that decision should be fired.

Happy for you !! Im glad you had this opportunity. =) Thanks for sharing with us !
Great review -- enjoyed the detailed analysis.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks!
Simaudio gear is attractive. In terms of performance i prefer the older W series over the newer stuff. I havent heard the new north series though.
The old W series is still really stupendous.

How did you feel sound wise this compared to the 700i.

Isn't the bass in the 791 and 761 too fat?
No?

LMAO you ran a 30k stack on wi-fi instead of plugging in an audiophile grade ethernet cable...!!! Oh boy.
Cant tell if youre trolling or not

Confused 🤷♂️
About?
30k is the new 3k. Not high-end enough.
Whats your definition of high end?
@@HiFiTurtle crazy prices.
🤷♂️ 30K is pretty crazy to me
@@HiFiTurtle haha yes but it's cheap by high-end standards.

There is a mobile app
