Known for some time that the Allo USbridge sig that I fed my Denafrips Ares ii could be improved upon. Buying a chord Poly for my Mojo demonstrated that, but I was convinced that the Denafrips would really benefit from a better ‘digital transport’/ streamer
So I pulled the trigger on the mouthful that is the SOtM sMS 200 neo SE
Got it through Elite Audio, with a very nice discount and a load of great advice. Top dealer.
Anyway.. one of those jaw drops. Wasn’t quite prepared for the difference.
For instance I’ve always enjoyed And You and I by Yes to reveal resolution in my system. Qobuz have a very high res version of Close to the Edge. Not only did I hear this resolved like never before... but there was the audio image of a bloke playing acoustic guitar about 8 feet from me. I sit about 6 feet from my speakers.
Awesome.
Also appreciate that this kit can be improved in a modular way.
I recommend it to the house.
