I picked up the IS-10 about a month ago and I’ve been really impressed with its capabilities and sound quality. I hooked it up to my Devore O/96 speakers and it sounded pretty damn good. I’m glad to see it got product of the year. It definitely belongs in that conversation.
Merry Christmas Sandu! and thanks for the review, i'm tempted to get this to pair with the Charybdis and skip getting an amp/DAC in separate units... decisions 😅
Thanks for the great review. Check out the Gold Note IS-1000 with the "Deluxe" DAC included with your KEF Reference 3's if you get a chance. Match made in heaven!
Hope the Raidho model can live up to the legacy of the Monitor Audios and you won't be disappointed 😃😃 Ok, just braking your balls, man, great unit, typically "la dolce vita" Italian design. Pure enjoyment and musicality that defines Note.
I am anxiously awaiting your review of the Gustard/Audalytic AH90 DAC, Streamer and Headphone Amp. I think at 599 it delivers 80% of what the A26 can do at 1/3 of the price. Just wow! This unit is different but is it better? Gustard Audalytics is AH90 is worth being you next DAC to review!!
@@Soundnews It is frankly a marvelous kit. I am enjoying my AH90 enormously. I was an opera singer for roughly 15 years, so my ears are fine-tuned and aware of how some world-famous people sounded up close and personal. It helps me to formulate observations on the proper sound of instruments (timbre) versus the presence of that instrument in a space (transient response). I follow your comments and am happy to participate in discussions. Three chips came to fight. ESS brought a microscope, AKK brought a fireside and a warm welcome, and Rohm outputs several dB less, so it needs to turn up the volume to play with the other children. I like your knowledge and ability to explain positively.
I have the is-1000. Its more analytical than smooth and lush when compared to simaudio. I tried it on two pairs of speakers, its class ab. Still sounds good though …on 87db speakers
So given its warm sounding tones, it would be better to pair it with neutral speakers, let's say English sounding ones. What do you think guys? It costs by the way almost 3000€.
If I can’t Google it and immediately find where to buy it and how much it costs, I just stop watching. It shouldn’t be a mystery to try to find out how much something will cost me, and I don’t want to check sixteen websites hoping it’s there.
Who TF cares about meaningless sound clips? Only a complete maroon would actually think they could hear anything that even remotely matters from a sound clip on here.
Hi, please help. Is the Musician Draco significantly better than my Topping D30 pro daca. Otherwise 80% of the music I listen to is Jazz and all kinds of Jazz since 1955 except Latin Jazz. Many, many thanks. I wish you the best of luck in life and work.

Hi Clarice, it will happen in January or February the earliest. You make me curious about that one.

Thanks for the great review. How does it sound (with headphones) compared with the older version DS-10 plus plus the external power supply ?
Liking the speakers in the background. MA- Gold or Platinum
How does it compare with the naim uniti atom is the question
I have the is-1000. Its more analytical than smooth and lush when compared to simaudio. I tried it on two pairs of speakers, its class ab. Still sounds good though …on 87db speakers
Which dap do you recommend, Fiio M15s or Shanling m7?, I will use it to use iems easy to move, with V profile, my favorite music genre is metal.
Hegel H120 or Gold Note is-10 ? for KEF ls50
Gold Note IS-1000 is an excellent pairing with KEF LS50
Could you please review the ibasso 320 max ti dap 🔥🔥🔥 ?
What happened to the Ref 3 Meta? OMG!! 😵💫
Sold ~three weeks ago, I'm getting the Raidho TD2.2, felt in love with them and couldn't resist😅
Congrats on the pair of Raidho @@Soundnews
@@Soundnews serieus upgrade. Pricy!

are they Morel drivers??

Which product sounded "out of control..."
funny how hegel never gets reviewed
I had the Hegel h160 and later h190.. solid amp stages but didn’t love the internal dacs. Would love to eventually try the h390
♥
Hegel H600 much better and serious.
funny how hegel never gets reviewed
It seems better, but it also costs 5 times as much as the little guy and it doesn't have a headphone output.
All your channel is missing is sound clips. I mean who cares about one mans subjective opinion.

@@amb3cog I'm guessing you swear a lot.😅🤡
