My son in law's family are from Denmark. During a recent visit his cousin came around and listened to my system, and casually remarked what he has back in Denmark

Well, it is an astonishingly well specced DAC and amp combination. He told me that he had replaced his Devialet 440CI with this setup. Looking at Aavik's website, the amp is DKr 75 000 which is about R180k. His speakers are AudioPhysic Cardeas. He says the mid-range is far better as he thought the Devialet was somewhat understated
